![]() ![]() I'm not sure if it's because it's her first appearance, and so, Agatha Christie, was really just trying to lay down the foundations for future books and just using this story to introduce us to her. ![]() I've always been told how everyone prefers Hercule Poirot to Miss Marple, and I really wanted them to be wrong and end up liking her and enjoy her detective work. She is known as a busybody, who likes to involve herself in everything, making observations everywhere she goes, and more importantly, she is ALWAYS right. ![]() ![]() An elderly maid, who lives alone, and has a knack at studying people and their behaviors, which helps her notice and see things that others wouldn't normally pay attention to. I thought this would be a quick book to read, but it took longer than expected, and yes, I finally got to meet the fabulous Miss Marple. I felt the crime itself and the time it took to solve it were overly dragged in some parts. The time, the clock, the real note, the fake note, the murder weapon, the alibis of all the individuals suspected, the series of events it took to make it happen and so on were all things that I found slightly difficult to follow. I don't think I could fully comprehend how this murder played out or the intricacies of all the little clues that eventually led to the murderer. ![]()
