It had been a typical New Year's Eve party. But as midnight approaches, Mr. Satterthwaite - a keen observer of human nature - senses that the real drama of the evening is yet to unfold. And so it proves when a mysterious stranger knocks on the door. Who is this Mr. Quin? Mr. Satterthwaite's new friend is an enigma. He seems to appear and disappear almost like a trick of the light.

Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death.

Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.

Solid
Plotting and voice match up. Listened to repeatedly. Humorous and menacing. Hugh Fraser is excellent as always.

Great read!
Another classic Agatha. My only complaint is that there are so many characters that it was hard to keep them straight in my head.

no real plot
despite what other reviewers say I just could not get into this book. I tried over and over. There seemed to be too many pointless characters who contributed nothing to the story line. The plot didn't go anywhere. Extremely slow moving.
