Description
Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death.
Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone--even in the vicar--wishes he were dead. And very soon he is--shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Está autora sigue sorprendiendome. Sin duda se convirtió en una de mis predilectas.
This book was good but not as strong as others I’ve read from Agatha Christie, for me the mystery was too obvious and I figured it out quickly, Agatha usually confuses me in the best way but this time it felt too easy, I still enjoyed it but it’s not a five-star read for me.
I don't know how to feel about this one... It was certainly good as all Agatha Christie's books are, but I felt like something was missing. Maybe because Miss Marple was more involved in the past book, and here she was just another witness. I did love how at the end (as always) she's able to know what's going on due to knowing human nature, so that's good, but I was expecting more Miss Marple and less Vicar Leonard Clement (the book is narrated by him). Besides that, great mystery as always. How it was planned and performed was almost flawless. Great book and highly recommend for all mystery lovers.
