Agatha Christie's Marple

4.50 from Paddington takes us through a convoluted case that Miss Marple is trying to get to the bottom of, this time largely remotely through an intermediary. I was really amused at the beginning at the pair of old ladies pondering who actually lost their life on that train. Even though the motive for the murder was very similar to other Marple mysteries, I was still suspenseful until the perpetrator was revealed. (13/08/2019)

Who would have expected that an "innocent" joke in the newspaper with an announced murder would turn into an intricate criminal case, in which the author really played with the identities of all the people involved, so that you basically didn't know who was who until the very end. I have to say that in this case, the reveal of the perpetrator and his crimes was very emotional. (13/08/2019)
