I think The Body in the Library is my favorite Miss Marple mystery so far.

Actual rating 4.5
And then there were none...
Glad to have finally read this, as I've been saying for a couple of years now that I would pick it up. I quite liked the fact that each story was so unique in it's formula and it's characters, although not having read much Miss Marple before, I did find it a little odd just how little she featured in the stories sometimes.

Not as good as the Poirot books. They are well written books and I would have given another 1/2 star if I could, but I just couldn't give 4 stars. I found it kind of annoying that the best and brightest of Scotland Yard were consistently made to look like blind idiots by an old lady armed with nothing more than a knack for recognizing personality types. I'm maybe just getting wise to the tricks but I found the Marple novels more predictable than the Poirot series.

I have published reviews for each of these books under their respective titles, and therefore will not repeat them here. That being said, I think this is a great collection of stories and I found it to be a great decision to have Nemesis directly follow A Caribbean Mystery as the characters first meet in ACM. All in all, great classic Marple mysteries. I must admit my favorite is The Body in the Library, closely followed by Mrs. McGillicuddy (also known at 4:50 from Paddington if my memory serves me correctly). My least favorite of the bunch, actually, was Nemesis because I thought the culprit was markedly obvious.

Nothing particularly noteworthy about this book: just another solid Agatha Christie mystery. I like how Christie tends to give actual, sensible reasons for her supporting characters' (in this case, Dolly Bantry) involving themselves in a mystery.
