Why read it?

1 author picked 4.50 from Paddington as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Another Christie, out of a handful of books Dame Agatha wrote set on trains. Much as I like Poirot, I love Jane Marple, the quiet spinster from St. Mary Mead who knits, knows everyone, and is well-schooled in human nature and foibles. Talk about powers of observation. In this classic, Miss Marple’s friend Mrs. Elspeth McGillicuddy is traveling by train.

From Janet's list on mysteries on (and off) the tracks.
