knock knock who there anne how anne how play funny jokeI prefer Poirot-novels to Marple ones, but this book has always been in the Top 5 on my Agatha Christie favourites list. This time I actually put myself the question "why". It is NOT because of the investigation or the solution of the crime, even though it is very well done in the classic Agatha Christie style: red herrings are there to lead you astray; real clues are hidden in plain sight and yet elude you completely. The answer is characterization, which is perfect: concise and revealing. Dame
Review to follow when I can get to my laptop :)Right I now have access to a proper keyboard, so I can write my review. Now this book to me was heading for 5 stars, until one particular incident (view spoiler)[ when Miss Marple hides in the cupboard (that bit is ok) but then mimics the dead Dora to unnerve Ms Blacklock. This to me sounded very unlikely, and indeed completely unnecessary as they had just caught Ms Blacklock trying to murder Mitzi (hide spoiler)].That apart it was an excellent
Actually, 3,5 stars, because I expected more from this book. I read this book in my own language in just one sitting.
A Murder is Announced is the fifth story to feature Miss Marple and the fiftieth novel that Agatha Christie published and the post-war era is very much in evidence in the picturesque village of Chipping Cleghorn which is home to many an elderly spinster. The weekly publication of the Gazette, the local newspaper of Chipping Cleghorn, and primarily the Personal column is always a guaranteed must read in order to keep up to the minute on the potential for local gossip, services wanted and items
A Miss Marple story which has "delicious death" as its central plot. Once again Agatha Christie comes up with a superb plot for her 50th novel. The beginning i quite different from her other stories but intriguing. Though limited to a few characters, the reader is left guessing till the end who the murderer was. Delightful read
:)
