I loved the beginning of this - Miss Marple in the early 1960’s with new housing reaching the village, a self service supermarket, and vacuum cleaners taking over from carpet sweepers! There’s a really humorous take on what changes and what stays the same in a community over time. The mystery was very guessable - and I don’t like that. I never even try to guess but this one just falls on your lap early on!
