So there goes Miss Marple, a little bit slow in the beginning but in full display of her wisdom as the plot advances. Read more here. "If anybody had been there to observe the gentle-looking elderly lady who stood meditatively on the loggia outside her bungalow, they would have thought she had nothing more on her mind than deliberation on how to arrange her time that day.

Not only because I warmed up more easily to Hayes after only 2 movies than I have to Hickson after seeing her in 7 so far, but also because the plot is much better explained in the Hayes versions; it's ironic how these two Hickson films are so plodding for most of their running time, but when they get to the most important part of any mystery, the resolution, they rush right through it. Along with Miss Marple, we bask in the warmth of the locale and the locals. A heroine for all of us who knit and quietly observe the world and are underestimated.

Christie did all sorts of things with mystery, but in this case she stuck to the genre as genre. Excitement comes from nowhere when she realise that the death of the old Major Palgrave might not be quite that natural as everybody believes (or want to believe). Bridie does a little digging and learns that Christabel isn’t his daughter so much as his prized specimen. Nah, if you are Miss Marple. Caution!This Book Could Make You A Mystery Addict, too!~ ~ - ~ ~ I first read "A Caribbean Mystery" at age 12, when we were away from our home in Boston, MA, and staying in Israel for a year's sabbatical.

As is often the case with Christie, the reader must, rather uncomfortably, wade through some casual racism/colonialism/sexism to enjoy the mystery. Even more suspicious when a young hotel maid is killed a short while later. More than that, is appears that their host doesn't remember where she was during the murders, but her husband is trying to protect her. Breaking and entering. The gist of the case here is that she was told everything that was going to happen by some kind of blabber mouth of a major of the colonial police, and she did not listen properly, just providing him with the few prompts and cues necessary for him to go on talking. This one was a little "fish out of water" for Miss M, sent on a Caribbean vacation by her nephew. Good editing. Very far from the bests of Agatha Christie, A Caribbean Mystery has a pleasant change of the ambiance from the cold England and the usual local bodies that Miss Marple talks about. Things turn more ghastly when the body counts keep increasing and every one of the guests had something to hide from the other.
In this case, the idea is to deepen the groove, to follow the pattern and surprise with small things rather than the grand upsets of other stories. Given that Bridie’s new companion is a ghost who refuses to tell her why he’s haunting her, Bridie might want to open her mind a bit. GENERAL & DOMESTIC THRILLER, by But of course, why would anyone believe a sweet, old lady’s imaginations? It was a quick easy read and the mystery kept me guessing until the final reveal. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? Tell readers what you thought by rating and reviewing this book. Here again is old Miss Marple, far from her English village, holidaying on a Caribbean island. The book follows Miss Marple through the investigations and as the reader, I found myself very curious - wanting her to solve the mystery!
