review 1: Fine Miss Marple mystery, not tired out like some of the later Hercule Poirot novels. I enjoyed it a great deal, and found the main characters engaging. In fact, I enjoyed being hoodwinked, as well. I really thought I had it this time, and I was wrong. And I didn't mind in the least. It has a few words that a parent might not want their child reading, especially towards the end. One woman's moral character is questioned and certain words are thrown about- 'nymphomaniac' and stuff like that. There also is a certain amount of threat, spookiness, and violence, because this is a murder mystery. Just a side note.
review 2: Both were good, enjoyable stories. Agatha Christie is very good at making you think that it can't possibly be one of the characters, only to tur... moren that around and have that character be the culprit. I don't think I even consciously realized I was dismissing those characters in these two stories. Oh well. Maybe someday I will be able to read a Christie novel and actually suspect the correct character. It is likely, however, that I will be able to do no such thing. less
