One of Christie's more entertaining mysteries!

This was a Marple story that I had never read before and it is set in her village of St Mary Mead where a famous movie star holds a party and one of her guests is murdered. Was this person the intended target? Or was it the movie star? Marple and the police investigate and of course there are a lot of people who were there who could have committed the crime.
I loved how Christie writes the dialogue with Marple finding out the latest gossip and her irritation too with people fussing over her due to her age. It did make me smile.
It was a great murder mystery that is one of the best Marple’s I have read.

Not my favorite Miss Marple at all. The story was too short and the characters felt underdeveloped. On to the next one though :)
