The vicar tells us the story of what happened to the deceased, and he interacts with the detectives investigating the crime. Though she’s responsible for solving it, she’s not the main character. But only by minutes… and you’ll never guess how important it was!įor many, this will be too on-the-nose or over-simplified when it comes to the layout at approach of Miss Marple’s investigation. I also knew there was way too much reference to ‘time on clocks’ for it not to be important someone messed with the spinning needles to change the appearance of when the murder happened. I can happily say that I had 2 potential guesses as the culprit(s), and I was correct (which doesn’t always happen). It started out a bit slow for me as the scene was being set, but once the murder happened, it took off in quick force. From the characters to the setting and the plot to the tone, it’s an intriguing and immersive read. I’ve read ~ten novels by Christie and this one is near the top of the list for me.
This was selected as my book to re-read as part of this challenge.Ī solid 4.5 stars for Murder at the Vicarage, the first novel in the Miss Marple cozy mystery series, written by Agatha Christie in 1930. It’s more about books using the same characters but not really connected other than a few fun memories and mentions. I’ve read many in this series, but you can read them out of order. The fourth book up, Murder at the Vicarage, is the first book in the Miss Marple cozy mystery series she’s written. I am hosting an Agatha Christie Readathon on my blog in April 2018 where we are reading one of her books each week.
