pickAnother week of daily commute - another Afatha Christie audiobook. This time no Poirot, but a Miss Marple. I really like the story of the mysterious poison pen letters and their possible consequences. And of course, I did not see the end coming. 🙈
pickThis was an interesting Miss Marple mystery. A string of hateful letters in a village lead to a suicide, but maybe it's a murder after all? I liked the main character Jerry Burton, who is new to small town life and shocked by the proceedings. He reminded me a bit of Poirot's Captain Hastings, eager to solve the mystery but a bit in over his head

pick“No,” said Miss Marple. “You believed what he said. It really is very dangerous to believe people. I never have for years.”

I also redeemed some free fries today and the girl got confused and gave me two, so I brought one serving home and turned it into cheese fries with spicy mayo. It went down a little on the crunchy side while I read the first two stories in THE LAST SÉANCE. I remembered both, though not in great detail, and they left me excited to carry on with this deep dive into Dame Agatha‘s short horror. #deweyoct #readathon
This week‘s library haul. The tagged book contains mostly stuff I‘ve already read, albeit a loooooong time ago, but there‘s one story that wasn‘t anthologized until 2018. I‘m excited! New-to-me Agatha Christie!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a solid little mystery. Nothing super thrilling but didn't drag either. For a Miss Marple mystery it doesn't really feature her much until the end. I'm not disappointed I read this story but it's not on my re-read list either. I say read it but don't expect to be blown away.

pickA Miss Marple mystery. I haven‘t read a lot of this series but I feel like Miss Marple doesn‘t show up a lot in the book. Most of it is the mystery unfolding and then Miss Marple finally shows up. This one definitely surprised me!
