Review of 'A Murder is Announced (Miss Marple Mysteries)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An announcement in the morning paper becomes the talk of the town as it tells the place and time that a murder will occur. People assume it is a joke, and they all turn out at Little Paddocks to witness the occasion. Unfortunately, a murder does indeed take place.
I know crime fiction books are not supposed to be read more than once, but it has been almost 20 years and I love Agatha Christie. Trouble is, this one is ingrained in my brain and as the reading progressed, it all came back to me. I cannot give it 5 stars because the last conversation between Miss Murgatroyd and Miss Hinchcliffe leaves me too anxious to enjoy the rest of the development. After so many years, I still want to yell at Miss Hinchcliffe! Maybe this means it deserve 5 stars...
