Agatha Christie's Murder at the Vicarage

So, I'm not a huge mystery fan because I can usually guess the culprit before the end. Sometimes it's so obvious that it's not even fun. Plus, I'm kind of a paranoid person and then I start thinking that these things can really happen and I start dreaming about them in my sleep and they are happening to my family. So, I just try to avoid them altogether. However, for bookclub next month we are reading an Agatha Christie book called Murder at the Vicarage. I've heard a lot about Ms. Marple and so I was actually interested in reading this book. I thought that this one was the first of Ms. Marple but I am not sure on that. I expected it to be written from Ms. Marple's perspective, but it wasn't. It's from the Vicar's perspective. Anyway, I won't give any of the details away because, after all, it is a mystery, but it is very good! My dad wrote a Murder Mystery for a dinner party and he wrote it so well that only one or two people have actually figured it out. In fact, I don't think anybody has actually figured out the whole thing but they have guessed either the "weapon" or the murderer, but I don't think they've guessed both. Anyway, this story was written in kind of the same fashion. There were a few minor details that played a big role in solving the mystery. It's very good. I'm sorry that I can't do any better than that in details but I don't want to give anything away. My only complaint is that I did get a little lost in the language of the Vicar. He doesn't say "thee's and thou's" but it is British and I felt that some things ran together and I had to go back and reread what I had just read because it didn't make any sense. But other than that, no complaints here! My husband and I like to watch Perry Mason at night and try and figure it out. This was very much a Perry Mason kind of thing. I'm going to try and see if they made a movie of this particular book because I know that there are several made-for-tv movies of Agatha Christie's books. This is a great read even if you don't like mysteries!!
