Harper Collins
It's seven in the morning. The Bantrys awake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing evening dress and heavy make-up. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl?
When the Colonel and Mrs Bantry are awoken to the news that there's a dead young lady in their library there are two calls to make. For the Colonel it's to the police, for his wife it's to her friend Miss Jane Marple. Soon the good lady is quietly puzzling her way through a maze of alibis and potential murderers all the time being quietly certain of who did it but not quite knowing the how or the why.
Again this books proves to be an absolute delight. The tangle of the plot, the wit and the invention of the dialogue and the masterful invention of the author all tied together with a central character who is perfectly realised.
