I have to say Miss Marple was never my favourite character in Agatha novels. But even then she had a magnetic presence & was genuinely a fun character to read.But all the 12 short stories in my opinion was outright boring & predictable. It also made me feel that Miss Marple was an insufferable character. The stories we not at all in Agatha style & made me feel sleepy.Really sad but this was a miss for me

I must say, I was not a fan of original Marple but I am still giving 3 star because the short story by Ruth Ware is a solid 4 star read . The one written by Lucy Foley is 3 star, the rest of them either had bad execution or didnt fit the classic narrative of Miss Marple.
