Agatha Christie

A Miss Marple Mystery

A Caribbean Mystery

Jemima Scott

Conversations are always dangerous, if you have something to hide.

A series of mysterious deaths on the Caribbean island where Miss Marple is vacationing calls to her mind a snapshot of a murderer that one of the victims had earlier brought to her attention.

This one is very much a case of a man who knew too much - and it got him killed. Fortunately, Ms. Marple just so happened to be in his corner and helped prove it was, in fact, murder. If only he was the only one! The mystery, to me, was quite obvious. There are a few red herrings, as per usual, but I felt the true story stuck out like a sore thumb. For that reason, my true rating is only 4.5 stars, but I'm rounding up to bring the Goodreads average closer to my ideal rating. It's a great example of a classic Agatha Christie murder mystery.

All in all, I thought the characters were well differentiated. I never lost track of who was who and what their motives were in the story line. That's something that can easily get muddled in a large cast of characters. I think it was handled very well - as Christie usually does.

I would definitely recommend this book to friends.

As Jane Marple sat basking in the tropical sunshine she felt mildly discontented with life. True, the warmth eased her rheumatism, but here in paradise nothing ever happened. Then a question was put to her by a stranger: 'Would you like to see a picture of a murderer?' Before she has a chance to answer, the man vanishes, only to be found dead the next day. The mysteries abound: Where is the picture? Why is the hotelier prone to nightmares? Why doesn't the most talked-about guest, a reclusive millionaire, ever leave his room? And why is Miss Marple herself fearful for her life? Of note: A Caribbean Mystery introduces the wealthy (and difficult) Mr Jason Rafiel, who will call upon Miss Marple for help in Nemesis (1971) -- after his death.
