Lymstock is a town with more than its share of shameful secrets – a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail causes only a minor stir.
But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, commits suicide. Her final note said ‘I can’t go on’. Only Miss Marple questions the coroner’s verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner?
I was actually a bit disappointed by this book. Miss Marple isn’t even mentioned until I think 60 or 70% in. Basically doesn’t appear after that either. She ends up solving the crime but it is more a story of Mr. Burton.
