書斎の死体

A 17yr old girls body is found early morning by a maid at gossington hall just a mile or so outside the infamous St Mary Mead, but no one knows who she is. Miss Marple is invited to investigate by her friend and resident Mrs Bantry, wife of a Colonel Banbury, owner of Gossington Hall.Although she puts in an early appearance at the crime scene, Miss Marple is rarely in the book, with almost all of the detective work carried out by Colonel Melchiot and Superintendent Harper and Miss Marple solving and summing it all up nicely at the end.This was the 2nd Miss Marple book written by Agatha Christie and she seems a more world weary; steely eyed, harsh Miss Marple than the kind old Grandma type we've come to know.' The truth is that most people, and I don't exclude policeman, are far too trusting for this wicked world. They believe what is told them. I never do. I'm afraid I always like to prove a thing for myself.'

Мисс Марпл снова удивляет своей наблюдательностью!

I don't know what it is, but the Miss Marple books just don't really interest me. It's crazy because it's the same author as Poirot, whom I love, but I just don't feel the same about Marple.Marple's stories are boring and I'm not fond of her as a character, either. I just find myself checking out while listening to them. This story was okay, I guess, but it was boring. Again, not fond of the characters and the ending was lackluster.
