Series:
Miss Marple Mysteries
Main description:
In utter disbelief, Miss Marple read the letteraddressed to her from the recently deceasedMr. Rafiel—an acquaintance she had met brieflyon her travels. He had left instructions for her toinvestigate a crime after his death. The only problemwas, he had failed to tell her who was involved orwhere and when the crime had been committed.It was most intriguing.
Soon she is faced with a new crime—the ultimatecrime—murder. It seems someone is adamant thatpast evils remained buried. . . .
Review quote:
“Agatha Christie proves that if you really are good enough, you can break all the ‘rules’ and still come up with a winner.”
Review quote:
“Miss Marple was an old lady now, knowing that a scent for evil was still, in the evening of her days, her peculiar gift.”
