This is the one I remember the least from the 1980s TV series, I couldn't even remember the basic plot & was getting it mixed up with The Mirror Crack'd. It was a solid murder mystery that has that Christie 'je ne sais quoi' which elevates it above a 3 star. It's a quick read packed full of untrustworthy & unlikeable characters, but thankfully Miss Marple appears from the start in this one. 3.5🌟

TWs: attitudes towards mental illness, xenophobia.

Woah. That ending 😵‍💫😱

Four women work the night shift at a factory in Japan. They look out for each other, helping when someone's struggling, staying after work to socialize. Then one kills her abusive husband, and turns to the others for help, setting off a chain of events descending into the darker reaches of life in Tokyo.

The movie is probably my favorite of Hitchcock‘s & I enjoy the other movies & books it has inspired so much that our dog is named Owen after Danny Devito‘s character in Throw Momma From The Train, so I am thankful to @JenlovesJT47 for organizing the #HitchToScreen to finally get my copy off of my TBR! I didn‘t love the audio performance here and I think the tension would have been more pronounced physically reading it but still what a debut novel!

This book takes place over an entire year, so technically there is snowy setting. 🥶❄️ but seriously, there is a portion that takes place in winter where Mikael is snowed in his cabin.
