As Jane Marple sat basking in the tropical sunshine she felt mildly discontented with life. True, the warmth eased her rheumatism, but here in paradise nothing ever happened. Then a question was put to her by a stranger: 'Would you like to see a picture of a murderer?' Before she has a chance to answer, the man vanishes, only to be found dead the next day. The mysteries abound: Where is the picture? Why is the hotelier prone to nightmares? Why doesn't the most talked-about guest, a reclusive millionaire, ever leave his room? And why is Miss Marple herself fearful for her life?
Another well-crafted mystery by Agatha Christie. This was quite interesting, as Miss Marple was outside her element of St. Mary Mead, instead having to solve a mystery on holiday in the Caribbean. It was an enjoyable read and I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
