stonepicnicking_okapi: Miss Marple (marple)
This month in my quest to read all of Agatha Christie in publication order, I tackled Peril at End House and Thirteen Problems.

Peril at End House has Poirot, Hastings, and Japp.

Poirot and Hastings vacation in Cornwall, meeting young Magdala "Nick" Buckley and her friends. He is persuaded that someone is out to kill her. They meet all of her friends at her home called End House. Though he aims to protect Nick, a murder happens that provokes Poirot to mount a serious investigation.

The solution is ingenious, and even though I remembered it well, it was still fun to read again.

Even more fun was Thirteen Problems a short story collection, which has some of Miss Marple's best cases like "Herb of Death" and "A Christmas Tragedy." It also has a lot of her interacting Dolly Bantry, which I enjoy very much. Most of the stories are available on Youtube being read by Joan Hickson and really I can listen to her over and over and never grow tired of her.

Next up, I am to Lord Edgeware Dies.
