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!

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!

pickI enjoyed the twists and turns in this mystery and I found the conclusion satisfying. However, Miss Marple doesn't make an entrance until we're well into the story. I kept waiting impatiently for her to show up!

There she meets Miss Marple & after an outburst during a play at the theatre, Gwenda confides in her that she thinks a murder was committed in her new home. When Giles arrives he's not convinced at first but when evidence is found suggesting a mysterious disappearance around twenty years before, 3d
This is my least favourite episode of the 1980s TV series with Joan Hickson in the title role, but I actually really enjoyed the book. Although this is the 5th book in the series chronologically, it wasn't published until the 1970s & you can tell there has been a distinct improvement in the flow of the story & the fact that Miss Marple is more 3d
