The twist was obvious but there were a lot of loose ends.
Also the atmosphere did not really translate for someone who watches and reads horror content.
Some unexplained aspects were:
Why was Diana chanting?
Did she have a weapon or did Violet imagine it?
Why did Richard fall?
How could his cousin have stabbed him without any sound?

Engaging, enticing, classic Christie style murder mystery that makes you go ' Ohhhhh Riiiiiight!' when the suspense is revealed.
Recommended for those looking for atmospheric intrigue.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as its immediate predecessor, "The Tuesday Night Club." It's a little bit overwrought, I think, and I can't quite wrap my head around Miss Marple and sacred groves and suggested orgies in the service of ancient goddesses. Everyone's very worried about the creepy grove, but I can't help but think that all the histrionics around it have been devised, by Christie, to draw attention away from a relatively thin mystery plot. When it comes to Miss Marple, I much prefer the domestic setting, rather than the attempt at evoking a misdirected horror that is the case here.

Second Agatha Christie short story I've read, and i still haven't warmed to her stories yet.
