This was a reread - Obsidian Blue and I did a buddy read of this one back in 2016. I remember that I enjoyed it, although I think I enjoyed it more this time around. I find that to be a pretty consistent theme with Christie - my expectations are really high going in, and then I'm pleasantly surprised but not Murder of Roger Ackroyd gobsmacked so I underrate it my mind.

When I go back to read them again, though, I am usually much more impressed, which was the case here. Miss Marple has aged quite

Lá vou eu novamente dizer:
Mais um livro fenomenal de Agatha.
Sempre fui fã de Miss Marple e ela não nos decepciona. É interessante as pessoas lerem antes os livros: Um corpo na Biblioteca e O Clube das terças-feiras, pois são citados na trama e é interessante, pois o crime inicial se passa na mesma casa do livro citado.
E sem mais delongas, escolhi a resenha de mais um fã de AC, essa resenha dá a cor exata da história, sem Spoiller e feito com maestria!

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side - has always been one of my favourite Marple stories because in this one the background is rather sad and the murder is fuelled by somewhat different motivations than most other Christie mysteries.

It's even more impressive to think that the story was partly inspired by a true story (view spoiler)

Not the best Agatha ever in fact a rather ambiguous ending. A subdued tale altogether with Marple taking a back seat and seemingly old and tired.
