4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book!!, Feb 12 2004
I've read almost every single one of Agatha Christie's books and this one was a very enjoyable read. It manages to keep the read interested while providing clues at every turn without going on and on about trivial details like the condition of the world's gardens(It actually does mention the garden but only as an excuse for Ms. Marple to be approached by various characters and have pre-murder conversations. Fortuneatly, there are no garden based conversations in the book).

This book avoided the 5 star rating because there are certain points in the book where the whole base of it is reminiscent of a play. This would normally not be a very bad thing and nobody would care but near the beginning of the book, when Ms. Marple first arrives at her friend's "Gothic Monstrosity", she is literally aproached by EVERY character 1 by one, each one leaving the stage as the next goes on. This, although mercifully speeding up the conversations by lowering the need for description, makes you feel like a member of an audience at a play.

This is not necessarily a bad thing because although I can't tell you why without spoiling the plot, you really are meant to feel like an audience and cannot solve the mystery without the aid of Ms. Marple if you don't realize it. One of the only reasons this didn't recieve 5 stars is because that 1 point in the book just feels SO unbelievable. The other reason being that one character has no alibi and yet, the character is never suspected, nobody even realizes the absence of alibi and he/she (I won't tell you who as not to spoil the plot) is not the murder after all!

This does not subtract from the enjoyability of the book, however, so I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. The plot of the book involves Ms. Marple travelling to an old friend's house who she hasn't seen in 25 years because of the concern of another. I urge you to read and enjoy this book. ^_^
