Format:Hardcover
I don't know if the first edition was so badly proof read, but this facsimile has three versions of Miss Marple's name in just a few pages. It's otherwise a very nice edition. These little hard cover editions are perfect in the the hand, unlike giant modern ones.
This isn't the best, or cleverest, Miss Marple I've read, but it's not bad. It's unusual because the setting is a boys' institution, or at least the mansion attached to it where the 'visionary' who runs the place lives. For once, Miss Marple very nearly gets mixed up with the common people.
And for once, I guessed the whole thing long before the end. For me, there are a few too many dead bodies, and the denoument is rather unsatisfying.
But, it's pretty much as well written as usual, and it holds your interest well.
This one's not set in St Mary Mead, so Miss M is a little out of her environment. Really, she takes a back seat and it's only by chance that she guesses what really happened when another character also guesses.

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of Mrs Christie's later books in which she did not shy away from the "troubled teenager" syndrome, though the crime itself is as pure Golden Age as ever.
This much filmed, read and dramatised book is here given the great BBC treatment and is highly recommended for anybody who is even remotely interested in the great Christie phenomenon ~ "how does she do it?" and " how can she get away with it yet again"
A great bedtime treat and not too distracting for a long motor journey
