Give me Miss Marple over him any day.<br/>This is a perfectly acceptable cozy mystery, although I didn't feel that it wrapped up as neatly as many of her others do.

There is a clear difference in tone between this one and say, Peril at End House (the first Poirot mystery).

    <body><![CDATA[This book was a little bit disappointing. Though certain parts were interesting, it was difficult to actually get interested until later in the book. It also seemed to have too many minor characters to keep track of things. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The story was ok but maybe because of the translation the language was a little bit clumsy. Anyway, it's a good book to read when you want to relax, forget about everything and just enter this imaginary world. For a few hours.]]></body>
