The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (Miss Marple Mysteries)

by Agatha Christie

Another edge-of-the-seat mystery read by Miss Marple herself, Joan Hickson.

One minute, silly Heather Badcock had been gabbling on at her movie idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive seizure. But for whom was the deadly poison really intended?

Marina's frozen expression suggested she had witnessed something horrific. But, while others searched for material evidence, Miss Marple conducted a very different investigation - into human nature.

The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side - has always been one of my favourite Marple stories because in this one the background is rather sad and the murder is fuelled by somewhat different motivations than most other Christie mysteries.

It's even more impressive to think that the story was partly inspired by a true story Gene Tierney's biography
