Agatha Christie's stories about Miss Marple are very tame by ordinary standards, but they are also completely enjoyable. It's a pleasure to be in a world where nothing terrible happens (except the required murders, which are never done in a horrible way), and where the secondary characters could be our own neighbors. Much of the enjoyment lies in the personality of Jane Marple, who is a comfortable person to spend time with and who solves problems with a calm logic that is not as sharp as Sherlock Holmes but closer to the thinking of the average person.

The Miss Marple mysteries are written in a simple, elegant style. Often, the crimes seem impossible to solve, but there are always clues that are left for you in the story. This particular collection is an amalgam of short stories from different serials that Agatha Christie published. I loved it.
I love Agatha Christie. I have a list of the books that I have not read. I didn't know about this book of Miss Marple short stories. I was glad to find it on E-Bay. I can afford to buy more Agatha Christie books, because the prices are so good. I will continue to purchase my books from E-Bay
This is typical Agatha Christie at her best. It was nice to have all the Miss Marple short stories in one volume. Anyone who enjoys Dame Christie would enjoy this quick read.
