I don't think Miss Marple ought to have been a character in this book . I think the narrator was doing just fine on his own . I enjoyed his way of telling the story and how he was trying to solve the murder !!!

Favorite quote:


“Miss Emily murmured that God moved in a mysterious way.
“No,” I said. “There’s too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will. I might concede you the Devil. God doesn’t really need to punish us, Miss Barton. We’re so very busy punishing ourselves.”
