Book No. 15 was just finished up this morning on break.
I read "They Do It With Mirrors" by Agatha Christie.
Another good murder mystery, ended up with a total of 5 bodies in this one.
Miss Marple goes to stay with an old college friend at the request of a mutual friend who thinks she the friend may be in danger. Then of course the bodies begin to pile up. lol... Ending with the killer and his accomplise.
It feels kind of familiar. I wonder if maybe I have seen a tv version of the story.
The only thing that bothered me was that Ms. Christie built up to Miss Marple figuring things out, and suddenly it was over and they were explaining it all as an after effect.

Five bodies, in under 200 pages. She is amazing! Sometimes I think she is not fair with clues, but I still love to read her books :-)

Getting a much better start this year. :)
Next book is a bit longer, so it will probably take me awhile. :p

I just started the Stephanie Plum series, you seem to enjoy them and they're my kind of thing. Thanks for the unintended recommendation!
