Nemesis by Agatha Christie is part of the Miss Marple mystery series. This mystery begins with her receiving a letter from the late Mr. Rafiel giving her the opportunity to take part in this mystery or simply ignore it. But of course Miss Marple is intrigued and is willing to do what she can to discover the verity.

This is the last Miss Marple novel Christie wrote, so naturally you may need to have read a few previous books to understand the references, particularly A Caribbean Mystery and At Bertram’s Hotel. This, however, is not the last novel Christie published. Sleeping Murder was published five years after this one.

The beginning is a bit slow and not as engaging since you seem to be “in Miss Marple’s head” a lot, hearing her thoughts instead of focusing on the actual murder mystery. But this is likely due to the fact that this was the last novel Christie planned to be in the Marple series so she wanted to wrap up the series in a sense. Once you get into the murder, it is as entertaining as the other novels. Overall, not bad.
