Anne's Reviews > The Mirror Crack'd / A Caribbean Mystery / Nemesis / What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw! / The Body in the Library

Ok. My personal Miss Marple favorites are The Murder at the Vicarage & Sleeping Murder.
But. I love all things Marple, and if you're a fan? Yeah. This is a nice collection.

The Mirror Crack'd
A really good Christie mystery for Marple fans.
The victim, Heather Babcock, is one of those idiots that get on everyone's nerves. You know, a pushy do-gooder that forces their help on everyone?
It's not sad when she bites it.



A Caribbean Mystery
The magical Miss Marple does it again!
Only this time she does it on a tropical vacation.



Unlike quite a few of the Marple mysteries, this one heavily features everyone's favorite little old spinster. As in, she's not just a side character in her own story. I personally just love the way her inner mind works. So proper and sweet...but not really.

Nemesis
Agatha isn't known for her sequels, but that's almost exactly what Nemisis is...in a way.
Remember A Caribbean Mystery?!
No?
Yeah, well it was somewhat forgettable. But for whatever reason, Christie decided to use one of those characters that Jane teamed up with to kick start this mystery. And while most of them have absolutely nothing to do with her current Nemesis, you do get a tiny peek at what some of those guys are up to now. <--kinda cool



What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!
This story is also known as 4:50 from Paddington.
Lucy Eyelesbarrow is the best thing about this book. Loved her. Why is she not in more books?
She and Miss Marple were just an unbeatable team!



The Body in the Library
I figured it out! I knew whodunnit!
I was smugly chuckling and congratulating myself on finally beating Agatha Christie at her own game as I listened to the end of the book drawing near, knowing that I had beaten the Queen of Mystery.



Goddammit.
She fooled me again.
I was all like, wait...whatthefuckjusthappened?! - as I listened to the actual murderer get hauled off to the pokey.

Recommended.
