Reviews with content warning for Death - Murder at the Vicarage

I really enjoyed the vicar's POV with his dry sense of humor! It's like he's the only sober, calm person in a village of very high-spirited characters, and the comedic timing always hits. His relationship with Griselda is quite cute as well. I don't know if he'll be a recurring narrator, like the Hastings to Miss Marple's Poirot, but I do hope I see more of Miss Marple herself in the next books. I was a little overwhelmed by the number of characters (AKA potential suspects) at first, but they all had distinct personalities so it was a quick study. I did not guess the perpetrator...I got tricked just as the villagers were :')

Although it was very fun and enjoyable I felt like something was missing at the end. The twist didn't feel very satisfying to me after having read so many of her works.

Idk if it was Griselda I felt like it would've been a lot more interesting. This twist was also done before so Lawrence Redding and Anne were not super surprising to me.

Agatha Christie is an amazing author, every single book I've read written by her was all very different from each other, and I've never been able to discover the murderer before the reveal. It's only possible (imo) to compare Agatha Christie's books with her other books and comparing this book to all of the other ones I've read, it wasn't as good. The pacing is very medium but all the time you have new evidences to work with, but this mystery didn't really made me get excited to see who was the killer and why did the person do it. Seeing things through the eyes of a priest wasn't really nice, i thought there was a lot of others characters that would more interesting to narrate. But nonetheless, it's Agatha Christie and she doesn't fail to build a good murder mystery.
