I liked this, but it did rather strain credulity, I thought. One of the things I like best about the Miss Marple stories is that she often uses domestic details to solve the cases; details that the usual Scotland Yard detective might have missed. Here, I had to wonder if those detectives were sleeping on the job. The letter that was the key to the case was blatantly the key. I didn't know why, but it was still obvious that there was something fishy going on there, what with the spelling. I realise this is a little bit hypocritical of me, since I didn't know what the items being referred to actually were, but then I expect a little more of Scotland Yard detectives than I do of myself. It seems a bit strange that there was no one, no one in the whole bloody Yard, that didn't recognise those names for what they were, even if the capitalisation and acronyms were beyond them.

Primer libro del año.
Una historia corta,sin una trama tan profunda,no simpatize con ningún personaje y es por lo mismo corto.
una lectura ligera, gente discutiendo sobre un asesinato y los posibles 4 sospechosos,no es la gran cosa pero te mantiene con la justa atención para terminarlo.

Great story but too short for me, I wished the plot was more developped but I enjoyed the moment :)

It should be easy to guess to murderer when there are only 4 suspects, but like all Miss Marple mysteries, there is always a lot more going on than what appears !!!
