No es ningún secreto que soy muy fan de los libros de Agatha Christie, aunque si soy sincera, Miss Marple siempre ha sido un personaje que no me ha terminado de gustar. En este compendio de doce nuevos casos de la susodicha Miss Marple, escritos por doce escritoras diferentes, nos encontramos con relatos de todo tipo, pero en los que creo que las autoras han sabido recrear la esencia de la protagonista. Si bien es cierto que al ser relatos cortos son muy rápidos de leer, a la par que entretenidos y que en líneas generales he disfrutado leyéndolos, he sentido que todos los casos se quedan algo cortos, tienen poca profundidad e incluso alguno se me ha hecho algo aburrido y pesado de leer.

He disfrutado acompañando a la entrañable y única Miss Parple resolviendo estos nuevos doce casos, que bien podrían haber sido escritos y firmados por Agatha Christie.
