Relation During Books The Blue Geranium: A Short Story (Miss Marple)

Calendar Novella #1

My son and I bought a literary pre-Christmas gift for ourselves: a calendar with prettily wrapped short novellas, one for each day from 1st until 24th of December. So the idea is to read one each day, no matter what kind of story it is and how much other reading material is piling up.

We started with a vintage Miss Marple story, and it was pleasantly nostalgic. I hadn't read Agatha Christie in decades, and had completely forgotten that she is a brilliant observer of the human condition, not least in her ability to reveal the underlying emotions in seemingly rational people.

Quietly and quickly enjoyable!

Criticism Based On Books The Blue Geranium: A Short Story (Miss Marple)

I was a little disappointed due to the fact that I could predict who the killer was, but other than that I think the story was really enjoyable and clever.

Non mais sérieusement! Où va-t-elle chercher tout ceci! Agatha, vous allez me rendre folle!

Mysigt småputtrigt och klurigt, precis som brittiska deckare ska vara. Inget blod men däremot blommiga tapeter. Gemytligt. :)

Great little mystery!

Short story

Ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard Sir Henry Clithering is staying with friends at their home near St. Mary Mead. When asked for suggestions, he requests that Miss Marple be one of the dinner guests. He remembers the Tuesday Night Club with fondness and thinks he may have a case that will stump the elderly sleuth. Once again plying the poisonous waters of a village filled with gossip mongers, Miss Marple solves the case without batting an eye or using sal volatile. Fast-paced and fun.

Never underestimate a little old lady in lace. Another great little story with a few red herrings and an interesting twist. I had seen this story adapted for television some years ago, but it had slipped my mind. Jane Marple always makes me smile with how clever she is.
