The mystery element was excellent, I didn't guess the murderer at all. Agree with previous comments about not being enough Marple to warrant being called a Maprle mystery, though. 

It would have been a 3 star or above were it not for the very weird language the narrator uses to describe women, especially the one he is interested in romantically. Calling women dogs just doesn't really endear me to a narrator.
