A well written and well plotted mystery with interesting characters and a neat solution. Overall the mystery was intriguing and the characters fascinating. I was shattered I got that one wrong - I'd written a note for myself and everything saying I called it - I apparently did not. I really thought she was being poisoned but no - red herring. I was also totally wrong on the other thing. It's nice that they both respect one another - rather than just writing the police off as inept or Miss Marple as a crackpot.Īs far as the resolution, I was completely caught off guard by the guilty party. I love the blend of amateur sleuth and police detective that Christie does so well in her Marple books. In regards to the actual plot - I enjoyed the twists and turns and the way the investigation unfolded. I get wanting to help people but funding a private operation to rehabilitate criminal offenders is pretty nuts. After a murder on stage, Miss Marple has to draw from her understanding of human character to unpick the conjuring trick played out.
Honestly I agreed with Wally - they're all nuts. I loved that this opened with her agreeing to have a nosy around for her friend. They Do It with Mirrors is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie, first published in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1952 under the title of Murder. When a murder happens, the question becomes who is guilty?įinally a book that starts and ends with Miss Marple.
Jane Marple reconnects with an old childhood friend who lives with her husband, daughter, granddaughter, stepsons and a school full of supposedly reformed juvenile delinquents.
