Lucy'sLilLibrary's Reviews > The Thirteen Problems

This book is almost like a sample of Agatha Christie/Miss Marple it's thirteen very short mystery's which give you a glimpse into Miss Marple's marvel.

I did enjoy this book but I thought some of the stories were a little too short, others a little long and convoluted. There is no doubt that Agatha Christie can write a good who done it after reading this book. I'm looking forward to reading more. Miss Marple doesn't seem like a criminal mastermind but I know who I'd want help from if I ever decided to get rid of anyone.

I think most of the intrigue involving Miss Marple is the fact that she is just a little old lady from a village - how can she know so much?

Overall a nice little read, not perfect but enjoyable. I hardly thought of this as a 'old' or 'classic' read, yes there are a few words or phrases that show the books age but otherwise its not noticeable.
