E.S. is 65% done with Three Blind Mice and Other Stories (Hercule Poirot, #30; Miss Marple, #2.2)
I've listened to a few more of the Miss Marple stories and cannot get into them. But in all honesty, it's probably the narrator causing my brain to wander...

Story #2 - Strange Guest

3.5 out of 5 stars.

This is my first Miss Marple story, and it took an interesting turn for sure. The detective is smart whitted, but the story itself was a little slow for how short it was. But that might have been due to the narrator more than anything.

Story #1 - Three Blind Mice

4 out of 5 stars

I can see why this one works very well as a play. With a twist ending and ways to deceive the audience, as well as some amusing cliches, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It might have been the narrator that made me rate this story 4 rather than 5 stars, but wonderful nonetheless!

Story - House of Dreams

4 out of 5 stars.

Interesting concept that, whether Christie intended to or not, addresses mental health, desire, and the end of life.

Story #3 - While the Light Lasts

3 out of 5 stars.

This one has a sad message, but the overall story didn't speak to me. Might be due to the time it was written or something else...not entirely sure.

Story #2 - The Actress

4 out of 5 stars.

Short and brief, this one made me smile. There was something humorous about the whole circumstance...with a touch of female empowerment as well.

Story #1: The Edge - 3.5 out of 5 stars

Interesting premise with a focus on jealousy and manipulation. Lacks something though - can't pinpoint what.
