I am a great fan of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series though some might find them a bit on the slow side. I enjoy Miss Marple's musings and the quaintness of the English village life.

I think I've read all the Miss Marple books and I think this is the only book that is from a first person point of view that isn't Miss Marple's, but that of the village vicar who finds the dead body in his library.

Of course, the village has all kinds of secrets and those come out as the murderer is tracked down.

If a slow, rich, character study of an English village of yore, this is a good you'll enjoy. All other should stay away.

A solid 5 stars.
