What a good mystery, but only four stars because Miss Marple is more of a cameo appearance. The story is told through the eyes of Jerry Burton. Miss Marple waltzes in and makes the final crack in the case. While I love Agatha Christie, I am not sure I loved this literary tactic regarding her famous amateur sleuth.

Since this is said to be one of Agatha Christie's best works I was very excited when I found this in my local library; however, I think that this was just meh. Nothing too spectacular. I couldn't guess the killer which was rare since I've read many of her books and kind of know the pattern. Still I didn't love the reveal and the resolution.

Miss Marple was barely in this one, but the London brother/sister pair coming to the small village was a great replacement.
