As I read this book, I couldn’t help feeling as if I’d already read it. Finally, after some digging, I realized this story was incorporated into Three Pines, the Amazon Prime show.

Anyway it was a quick, easy read in the Three Pines universe.

Classic cozy from the inventor of the genre. My only complaint is I wanted more of Miss Marple and her perspective as opposed to the POV of so many other characters. Nevertheless I will continue my read through the series.
