Very enjoyable Miss Marple mystery and a surprise twist at the very end. A great, fun and amusing read for her fans.
On reflection, this story winds up being rather silly and implausible, but it's a fun read in the meantime. And it epitomizes the “cozy” mystery. I found myself really yearning to eat “real muffins” and old-fashioned seed cake at proper afternoon tea and then accompany Miss Marple to shop for crisp bed linens and non-tacky kitchen towels.
Pleasant and diverting, but the mystery, such as it is, is unsatisfactory, and Miss Marple is much more an observer than an amateur detective. Certainly a minor novel, and though I didn't dislike it, I didn't find it satisfying.
