Summary
E-book exclusive extras: 1) Christie biographer Charles
Osborne's essay on They Do It with Mirrors; 2) "The Marples": the complete guide
to all the cases of crime literature's foremost female
detective. A sense of danger pervades the
rambling Victorian mansion in which Jane Marple’s
friend Carrie Louise lives—and not only because the
building doubles as a rehabilitation centre for criminal
youths. One inmate attempts, and fails, to shoot dead the
administrator. But simultaneously, in another part of the
building, a mysterious visitor is less lucky. Miss Marple
must employ all her cunning to solve the riddle of the
stranger’s visit, and his murder—while protecting
her friend from a similarly dreadful fate. The New York Times: ‘No one on
either side of the Atlantic does it better.’
