The Moving Finger

The Moving Finger, by Agatha Christie. A Miss Marple mystery.

Told in the first person by the main character (not Miss Marple, btw) I thought the POV off-putting, initially, and then found myself sucked in. A brother and sister from the city go to the country to convalesce after an injury, settling on Lymstock as a place where nothing at all could happen.

They turn out to be oh-so-wrong, various townspeople die, others fall in love, and an "expert on wickedness", Miss Jane Marple, is finally called in to determine the villain.

At Bertram's Hotel

At Bertram's Hotel, by Agatha Christie. A Miss Marple mystery.

Possibly my favorite so far of this little Marple binge I've been on. Bertram's Hotel is ultrarespectable and just too perfect. Miss Marple stays for a fortnight, and brings her appreciation for human behavior into play when a guest goes missing and an employee is killed.

A Pocket Full of Rye

A Pocket Full of Rye, by Agatha Christie. A Miss Marple mystery.

What do blackbirds have to do with a rich businessman being murdered? A man with a pocketful of rye?

Everything? Nothing? Something in between?

The Mirror Crack'd

The Mirror Crack'd, by Agatha Christie. A Miss Marple mystery.

One of the few that I've seen on TV as well, because I remembered some of that version, I guessed who the murderer was, which I rarely do, or at least rarely do successfully.
