Ok late Miss Marple Mystery October 7, 2008
This novel was written late in Agatha Christie's career when she was already well into her seventies. So, not too surprisingly, it's not as good as the novels written during her prime from the late 1920s through the mid-1940s. The book is a little short, at about 220 pages and somewhat sketchily written. Christie was never a great one for extensive descriptions of her settings, but here she dispenses with description almost completely. The novel is set at a Caribbean resort, but I never had a clear idea of what the resort was like because she doesn't bother to provide much description. The mystery is decent, but not exceptional, and the herrings are a little too red. There are too many suspects with more or less the same potential motive. Anyone who has not yet read all the Christie's from her classic period should read those books before this one. Anyone who is close to completing the Christie cannon will probably find this one at least mildly enjoyable. I will say I love these Black Dog editions, which at less than $10 on Amazon are a great bargain.
