Miss Marple is so iconic!!! Really interesting how Christie writes her as an armchair detective, doing all her puzzling from her room as people come in to deliver bits and pieces of the case

More Miss Marple in this one, which is always a boon, but there are some old fashioned, painful attitudes about kids with disabilities.

I have a pretty good talent for not remembering whodunnit even if I'd read or seen a detective story before, but this book, for some reason, was not the case.
Which made me pay attention to the means of the end closer than I usually would have. I wonder how much there is of Old Lady Agatha in this ultra-elderly feeble Miss Marple. Confused by the way the world moves on, not as physically able as she once used to be, but still sharp as a blade.
I think the central case is absolutely brilliant (which might be why I remembered it from a TV adaptation),, but it all makes perfect sense.
Definitely one of Christie's best.
