    <body><![CDATA[The Mirror Crack'd was my third Agatha Christie read and the first that I solved, what I don't like about Christie is that you need your own outside experience to solve her cases. There are given clues that unless you are an expert in that particular field then the clues are worthless until her expe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72545647">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I find the writing stilted and hygienic, but that was Christie's style.  I do like the use of Tennyson's poem and the exploration of the discomforts of old age-- a subject that people simply don't write about in thrillers...and the plot was based on the real life story of actress Gene Tierney, which...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50312138">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not quite as intricate as some of Christie's plots, but still an excellent read. Though aged, Miss Marple is as sharp and delightful as ever (far better than Poirot ever was, in my opinion!) and I loved seeing Dolly Bantry again; she provides a charming foil to Miss Marple. Well worth the read!]]></body>

Somehow, I picked up an vague and incorrect impression of what Christie books and the Miss Marple character were like.  This book, at least, was wry, clever, well-paced, and tightly constructed.  ]]></body>
