A Miss Marple Collection (Miss Marple Mysteries) by Christie

I am a huge Agatha Christie fan and thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful assortment of short stories. I have read just about all of the Hercule Poirot and Miss Marole full length mysteries, and through Kindle I am discovering the short stories.

miss Marple stories are probably the most amazing of Agatha Christies works. The short story is am excellent medium and in a detective story it takes exceptional skill to get the thrill across. This collection does exactly that. It selects the chilling and sinister stories set in Miss Marple's environment to create a most absorbing group of stories. Cheers.

A wonderful collection for all Christie lovers! A great read for readers to be introduced to some of Christie's character and should fuel an interest for more discoveries of Christie's work. Time well spend.

Sure, Agatha Christie is formulaic--but so is Dick Wolf (Law and Order). That doesn't mean it's not a fun read. I understand the Miss Marple character so much more now, having watched five actresses portray her in different ways.

I am a fussy, discriminating reader. Agatha is always at the top of my reading list. I even go to yard sales to pick up used copies all over the place. She is an awesome writer. Puts my scribbling to shame.

Where shall we start, Miss Marple? Fun, short and simple mysteries, always enduring? But of course, Miss Marple is hosting a den of mystery stories. A suspense party of sorts. What more could one want? Indeed! Will you be having tea and seed cake with your short mysteries? Yes well, I dare say!

As a mystery lover, my 100% pure English Mother, who avidly read 14 novels a week, actually was addicted to Ms. Christie. I wanted to experience myself what was so fascinating about Agatha Christie. Well, now I know why my mom could not stop herself! Love you, Mom ~ M A Gokee

I enjoyed the stories, but with so little plot and character development, I found a pattern emerging, and it became easy to guess "whodunit". Also, some of the characters were a little naive. But still, a good read.

As always, Agatha Christie's Miss Marple is a pleasure to read. Wish there were more! There's just the right amount of suspense, we know Miss Marple is going to solve the mystery. It's good for a re-read, too!

I give this collection 5 stars because it holds a great selection of Miss Marple and Hercules Poirot shorts to enjoy. If you want a taste of the authors style and characters this is a fun way to introduce you to the great Agatha Christie. It makes you want to read these stories more than once and to pass on as a gift to a friend.

Miss Marple and all Agatha Christie books are a classic, and the situations and crimes are perfectly adapted to modern times, even if the methods of solving them are different. Have most of her collection, but not these short stories, so thoroughly enjoyed. Many thanks.
