A self-centered, but kind village woman is killed at a party hosted by an American movie star, but was she the intended victim? Everyone has a theory, but it takes Miss Marple to put all the clues together. Miss Marple is getting older, but her mind is as sharp as ever. I love that Scotland Yard Inspector Dermot Craddock relies on Miss Marple's knowledge of human nature to solve the case.

This is the first Miss Marple that I've read (I think) and I so thoroughly enjoyed it. As expected the mystery aspect is superb, weaving a tale that spans years, leaving the reader little clues along the way that gradually come together in a complex yet simple conclusion. Miss Marple is of course a superb character, perfectly suited to her role as unofficial village investigator, although I'm not totally convinced she would be allowed such a free reign nowadays, mores the pity!
A classic Miss Marple mystery. An easy read but the clues are all there if you’re looking for them. Even if you don’t try to solve it yourself, the book is a great read.
