Pascal Heitzman’s Reviews > Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories > Status Update

I am enjoying the little mysteries and I'm finding that I have a better track record of guessing who the murderer is as I go on. The Short story format can get a bit tiring during extended reading periods because you have to reset to a new story every 17 pages. Ms Marple is a great directive and I like all the other characters. I especially enjoy the pros of Agatha Christie and how direct they are.

I'm a fan of the short story format, and Agatha Christie is a master of the mystery. Because the stories are shorter they therefore are simpler and easier to guess. This makes them really fun to read, because you have a chance of guessing the culprit correctly. I also appreciate the commentary on underestimating the importance of everyday life in bigger affairs.
