Good, as most Christie stories are, though a bit slow in certain parts.
Pretty interesting story, a famous actress who longs for children of her own and multiple murders. Trigger warning for some old-fashioned and offensive ideas about children with intellectual disabilities. Mrs Marple is given the respect she deserves in this one.

This was such a great read, clever plot and unexpected end. I was so far from resolving the mystery! Miss Marple does it again. It's true that you should never underestimate her!
In this book, some minor characters were very interesting. I don't know how Miss Marple didn't kill Ms Knight, her live-in helper employed by her nephew!! Idleness is definitely not one of our amateur sleuth's characteristics!

This is one of my favorite Marples. I think it's because the motive for the murder was very unique and original.
