I guessed the murderer about 1/2 through, but Miss Marple's relationship with Mr. Rafiel kept me going. Definitely not the strongest Marple entry.

A great,fast paced and fun mystery novel. The twist was good and overall I liked the story. It's easy to read and I love Agatha Christie's ability to write books that are such a joy to read. They take me out of a reading slump every single time. I did guess at one time that it was Tim, but I also thought that it might've been Molly so it was still surprising. Also the twist made much more sense than the last book that I read from her. It was enjoyable but I might take a break from her works since I've been reading so much of her lately and they don't hit as hard as they did in the past.
