17 Sep THE MIRROR CRACK’D FROM SIDE TO SIDE
This is another book from my favourite author Agathe Christie and it was her 130 birth anniversary on 15th September and I had a special post on my Instagram page. A true Queen of Crime! I haven’t read another author with so much calibre for crime thrillers. This book brought tears to my eyes not that it is a bad book, but the reason why the crime was committed.
The plot goes as this, there is a cocktail party arranged by the gorgeous actress Marina Gregg when she moves into a new town where Miss Marple stays. In this lavish party almost all the townspeople are invited. One among them, Ms Heather Badcock is overly excited to meet her movie idol and then she goes on and on how she first met her. But the next second we find her lying dead after getting a severe seizure because she drank the poisoned cocktail. It seems that the cocktail was meant for Marina Gregg but why was she a target. As the police are absolutely clueless, Miss Marple unwinds the cobwebs and the deepest darkest secrets that lie in that house to reveal the true murderer.
I haven’t much to say other than this is one of my favourite Miss Marple’s series. I am more of Hercule Poirot fan! The book is a one time read and not something that you would take to re-read especially if you have a reading slum. I give this book a rating of 3.5 out of 5 because of its plot! Since I am a fan of Agatha Christie I will definetly say do give this book a chance, hoping you will not be hurt the way I was at the end.
