I'm very fond of this story because of a film version starring Angela Lansbury & Elizabeth Taylor which ought to be awful but really isn't. But it's a clever story anyway, with Miss Marple laid up after a fall so so people have to bring the story back to her, and lots of stuff about how new houses have changed the village. Best of all is her friend, Dolly Bantry, who used to live in the big house where this all takes placed (played brilliantly in this by Julia Hills). I still think that Dolly needs a life of her own - graphic novels perhaps?
