I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was very surprised by the ending. I was truly surprised by the resolution and conclusion. I recommend any Agatha Christie books!

A wonderful book. Reminds me why I got into reading Christie in the first place. Inspector Neele is very likeable, and the arrival of Miss Marple nearly halfway through the book is an added pleasure.

Classic Christie! This is as "British Crime Novel" as you can get considering the victims are murdered by poisoned tea. Toss in a series of murders macabrely linked to an old nursery rhyme and this is the perfect case for Miss Marple! This is also one of the rare occasions when I sympathized with the murderers (at least one of them) and felt that their attachment to the case was very tragic. I was really upset how things went for them! A novel as lukewarm and cozy as a cup of English Tea! 4/5 Stars!

Not sure why but not my favourite Miss Marple book. The story is solid but I feel like it just doesn't grip me as much as most of Agatha Christie's books do.
