Amity B. (mollyblack) -
This is a great body of work to sit down and enjoy all at once.
The stories:
1. The Mirror Crack'd: "...is a strangely touching and thoroughly engrossing story of an ill-fated glamorous actress. The clues are particularly closely knit as a pleasant charity party is marred by a murder, with several others to follow."
2. A Caribbean Mystery: "...Major Pelgrave interrupts his boring stories to tell Miss Marple about a murderer he has known; then he pulls out a snapshot of that murderer. A killing follows and the mystery is airborne."
3. Nemesis: "is a fascinating tale that takes Jane Marple traveling a route given her by a dead man. A handsome sum will be hers if she can solve a murder she knows absolutely nothing about."
4. What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!: "On a train going to visit Miss Marple, she sees a man in a passing train, 'His hands were round the throat of a woman who faced him, and he was slowly, remorselessly strangling her.'"
5. The Body In The Library: "A dance hall girl becomes (the title) - in the exclusive home of Mrs. Bantry, one of Jane Marple's friends. A house full of likely suspects includes the angry in-laws of a rich crippled man who wanted to adopt the girl."
