I’ve haven’t read any Agatha Christie, so I’ve only seen Miss Marple on the TV in her many guises - and I’ve enjoyed them all.
My favourite stories in the anthology were written by: Val McDermid, Natalie Haynes, Ruth Ware, Ely Griffiths and Kate Moss.

The authors mentioned above gave the most convincing re-imaginings, whilst some of the others made her sound more modern, or Americanisms had slipped in - which is definitely very un-Marple-ish!

All in all, it’s a very enjoyable anthology, and I did like all of the stories.

Thanks to The Pigeonhole and to all the authors that contributed (the US cover actually shows who all of the authors are).

It does suffer from the major drawback of all anthology films (and television shows for that matter), which is the inconsistency of quality from story to story.

Don't be surprised if you see more than one review on this post, because I have so many books to review, I decided to put these two shorter books together in one post! Two for the price of one, really! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/04/12/shortstorysunday-one-novelette-and-an-anthology/
