Margaret (margarette) | 378 comments This is an excellent mystery, even if it shouldn't be categorized as a Miss Marple. I had read it before, but enough years have passed that I barely remembered the plot or that Miss Marple appeared only briefly toward the end.

That allowed me to get lost in the story told by Jerry Burton of how he and his sister went to what appeared to be a quiet, peaceful village where he could recuperate from an accident. They soon discover the peace is broken by gossip, secrets, vicious poison pen letters and death.

There's no shortage of suspected letter writers and possibly murderers, basically everyone in the village, and I enjoyed Burton's close scrutiny of each one.
