I love Miss Marple. She’s my absolute favorite Agatha Christie character, and these short stories are one of the reasons I came to love short stories so much. They’re perfect little bites of story you can nibble on when you want something to read, but don’t have the time to delve into a novel.

This was pretty much the perfect collection for me, and I’ll certainly come back to it again and again.
Rating: 10/10
