It was okay. I enjoy Marple, but this didn't really hold my attention.
"-Es usted una persona sorprendente- dijo, al fin, la muchacha-¡Cuántas cosas le interesan!
-A mí me interesa todo -afirmó miss Marple". (123).
"El hecho de no comprender resulta siempre interesante. Cuando uno no comprende una cosa es porque la enfoca mal o porque no está debidamente informado sobre ella". (207).
"Voló la telaraña y flotó lejos.
El espejo se rajó de parte a parte;
-La maldición ha caído sobre mí -exclamó
la dama de Shalott". (247).
Otro gran misterio de Agatha Christie Con una gran actriz, una gran tragedia, un poema y menciones a sir Lancelot del ciclo artúrico. Y la siempre sorprendente miss Marple, una adorable anciana que en lugar de tejer como las demás, desteje.

slow-paced
Both the surprisingly genuine depiction of being old and the really inventive and clever and sympathetic murder motive here elevate this above the average mystery. Negatives are an ending where a few things suddenly happen that aren't really given space to breathe, a couple of uses of w*p which was... surprising and a pretty unenlightened way of talking about mental health and disability although it's only really objectionable in a couple of instances.

Wow, that climax went unexpectedly dark. Bravo to the Queen of Mystery, as always refusing to shy away from the truth about human nature.
So...did Gene Tierney read this? Yikes.
