 “The young people think the old people are fools; but the old people know the young people are fools!”

A murder in a small village where everybody knows everybody’s business. A classic whodunnit. This is the book where Agatha Christie introduces Miss Marple. She is described as a very observant and clever woman.

“She’s the worst cat in the village,” said Griselda. “And she always knows every single thing that happens – and draws the worst inferences from it.”

We see the story develop from the vicar’s point of view so we also see the relationship he has with his wife who is much younger than him and who loves to point out that he doesn’t deserve her. The vicar is not much better himself though. He also thinks his wife is very incompetent and wonders why he even married her. No couple goals here. Fortunately, their relationship does seem to get better at the end of the story!
