‘One of the author’s very best productions, with splendid pace, bright lines.’ Saturday Review of Literature
‘A joy to read from beginning to end, especially in its acute sensitivity to the contrasts between this era and that of Miss Marple’s youth.’ New York Times
‘Miss Christie’s pearly talent for dealing with all the words and pomps that go with murder English-style shimmers steadily in this tale of the noisy woe that shatters the extremely expensive peace of Bertram’s famously old-fashioned hotel.’ New Yorker

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I highly recommend this book to Agatha Christie fans of Miss Marple stories. It has a particular charm involving an elegant old-style hotel and its seem-to-be prominent guests. It has been a re-read for me for years.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book is a page turner, but Miss Marple's contributions to the solution of the mystery seem to be incidental. As with Christie's later books (the 60s +) I wasn't all that surprised by its resolution. For Miss Marple at her best, try "The Body In The Library" or "Murder At The Vicarage".

Read with caution
I would just like to warn people that some obnoxious readers who left comments on the books also gave away the murderer. If you want to be surprised, read with caution.
