Miss Marple visits an old friend who now lives in a Victorian mansion which is being used as a rehabilitation centre for troubled teens. Her friend, Carrie-Louise is surrounded by friends & family including husband Lewis Serrocold, but they may be in danger. Miss Marple can't quite put her finger on it yet but she knows that something is dreadfully wrong here & her fears are confirmed when a gun is fired at Lewis although he is uninjured. However a recently arrived visitor, Mr Gulbrandsen, is found dead, shot at the same time in another part of the building.
This is the one I remember the least from the 1980s TV series, I couldn't even remember the basic plot & was getting it mixed up with The Mirror Crack'd. It was a solid murder mystery that has that Christie 'je ne sais quoi' which elevates it above a 3 star. It's a quick read packed full of untrustworthy & unlikeable characters, but thankfully Miss Marple appears from the start in this one.
