💕 Opinión personal: Me gustó la idea de mezclar el misterio del asesinato con lo sobrenatural. A pesar de ser interesante, por momentos la trama se me hizo demasiado lenta
por eso tarde en leerlo a pesar de que solo tiene 246 páginas.
Me gustó mucho el personaje de Emily, una mujer decida, inteligente y capaz de todo por ayudar a su prometido.
Como siempre admiro como la autora logra hacernos dudar de cada uno de los personajes. Y el final me sorprendió, no lo esperaba.

Por fin aparece Miss Marple, que me encanta. Las historias de Mr. Quin son pura maravilla.

Una docena de cuentos detectivescos que deleitan al lector a la vieja usanza. Un viejo, espectador de la vida, que es conocido por todos, encuentra al misterioso Mr. Quin, y cuando eso sucede entonces hay una historia que merece volverse a recordar. Después de todo, el tiempo permite ver mejor las cosas ¿o no?
