December 2022 - Lunchtime Listen
(New edition narrated Stephanie Cole)
So with all the house renovations coming to a halt for the holidays (we are almost finished anyway) this lunchtime listen extended into a couple of afternoons after long walks in the frosty countryside.
As stated below this is an enjoyable read, an enjoyable watch (with Joan Hickson) and now an enjoyable listen with the wonderful actress Stephanie Cole.
The story , a familiar one to Miss Marple fans is a complex one and takes some expert unravelling by Miss Marple. I have to say the TV show makes more of Ispector Slack than the book , but both "versions" are fun.
If you don't know the story then rectify that and read watch or listen to it, you will not be disappointed,
February 2017 - Miss Marple Group Read
An excellent and very enjoyable read. Despite reading the book many moons ago and seeing at least one version on TV I still didn't guess who did it. (SPOILER alert sort of " although I did get the clue about the fingernails eventually")
And so it's onto the next which I think is The Moving Finger which I believe is a quote from the Wine of the Mystic: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: A Spiritual Interpretation. I must admit I don't know why, but I'm sure I shall find out.
Anyway 3 down and 11 to go, and if they are all as good as this (and I have a feeling they will be) then it's gonna be a fun year.
