stonepicnicking_okapiThis series of entries is commentary on my lifelong quest to read all of Agatha Christie's works in UK publication order.
They Do it With Mirrors (1952) is a decent story made more decent by its opening premise of Miss Marple helping her girlhood friends. I like that idea. Miss Marple goes to Stoneygates, a country house converted to an institute for young delinquents. It follows the idea 'the people you think are crazy, aren't and the people who aren't crazy, probably are.' Except for Miss Marple, of course.
The next book is a Mary Westmacott called A Daughter's a Daughter which I have never, ever heard of. It sounds very tedious so I am thinking about putting it off to November. I will have enough to do for October.
