Have you watched the Marple adaptations with Joan Hickson? She IS Miss Marple for me.

I'm an outlier because I prefer the Miss Marple books over Poirot. Some of my suggestions are 4:50 From Paddington, At Bertram's Hotel, and Murder At The Vicarage.

I also enjoyed her Tommy and Tuppence series a lot.

I'm a big fan of that golden age of detective novels. Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine Tey, they're all so good.

Because sometimes a book gets so much praise and you read it and hate it and then you start to wonder if you’re the crazy one or of other people disliked it, too, so you ask. It is possible to violently hate one book while still enjoying a multitude of others.

Yes. All three. I loathed that book. I've never understood the adulation it got. I hated Clare, I thought she was awful. I thought Henry was an idiot. And some of the scenes were questionable at best, downright creepy at worst.
