U lokalnim novinama osvane neobična obavijest: najavljeno je točno vrijeme i mjesto ubojstva koje će se uskoro dogoditi u viktorijanskoj kući gospođice Blacklock. Najznatiželjniji dolaze misleći da je riječ o nekoj zabavnoj igri, no vrlo brzo postaje jasno da najava nije nimalo bezazlena…
Fantastična krimi priča! Pročitala sam je u jednom popodnevu i iskreno se jako zabavila. Znam da svaki put kad posegnem za Agathom Christie kažem: “Ova mi je najbolja!”, ali ova mi je stvarno najbolja. Do sada. Za sada. 😊
Najavljeno umorstvo ujedno je i prva knjiga o Miss Marple koju sam pročitala i usuđujem se reći čak mi je draža od Poirota. Znam, šokantno! 😄
Likova ima poprilično i u početku mi je to malo otežavalo praćenje radnje, ali kako sam ih postupno “pohvatala”, priča me sve više uvlačila i postajala sve zanimljivija.
I naravno ni ovaj put nisam uspjela otkriti tko je kriv. Rasplet me potpuno iznenadio i ostavio bez teksta.
Dakle, ako tražite laganu popodnevnu kriminalističku priču, ova je idealna!
Puno hvala izdavaču!

A Murder Is Announced – Agatha Christie
In a local newspaper, an unusual announcement appears: the exact time and place of a murder that is about to take place in the Victorian home of Miss Blacklock are revealed. The most curious people arrive thinking it’s a game, but it soon becomes clear that the announcement is anything but harmless…
A fantastic crime story! I read it in a single afternoon and genuinely had a great time. I know that every time I reach for Agatha Christie I say, “This one is my favourite!” — but this one really is my favourite. So far. For now. 😊
A Murder Is Announced is also the first Miss Marple novel I’ve read, and I dare say I actually like her more than Poirot. I know, shocking! 😄
There are quite a few characters, which made the plot a little harder to follow at first, but as I gradually got to know them all, the story pulled me in more and more and became increasingly engaging.
And of course, once again I didn’t manage to figure out whodunnit. The ending completely surprised me and left me speechless.
So if you’re looking for a light afternoon crime story this one is just right!
Are you the type who tries to guess the ending or just enjoys the story?
I’m really trying, but I can’t seem to get it right 🙂
