"Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an everlasting stream."
What is Booktober without the Queen of Mystery? If you want a good, quality murder, pick up any Agatha Christie book and you're bound to get just that. For my pick I chose one from her Miss Marple series, potentially my favourite with the willy old bird, Nemesis. The story of retracing the steps to an old, old crime - and finding the truth about what happened to a young girl who just wanted to love and be loved in return - is both harrowing and enchanting at once. Christie has a way with words that few authors have since managed to achieve.
But that doesn't mean you won't scratch your head as you read!
In utter disbelief, Jane Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr Rafiel - an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intruguing. Soon she is faced with a new crime - the ultimate crime - murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remain buried ...
