4.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Complicated

I knew this story having watched the TV dramatisation with Julia Mackenzie as Miss Marple and Caroline Quentin as the unfortunate Heather Badcock. I also think I may have seen the film version with Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis and Angela Landsbury! Anyway I was convinced I knew who the murderer was until I started listening and then I wasn’t so sure because of all those dogdey characters and red herrings! Agatha Christie certainly knew how to make me doubt myself and put me of the scent. When the big reveal came I was right, phew! A very good mystery read perfectly by Emilia Fox!
