A Caribbean resortStrangers thrown togetherIs there evil in paradise? Major Palgrave enjoys an
audience and in Miss Marple he discovers a captive audience too polite to walk away. But

someone catches his eye. Then when he's found dead the following day Miss Marple suspects
that someone wanted to silence the talkative major. Permanently. Never underestimate Miss
Marple 'There's no such thing as a disappointing Agatha Christie: there are only good ones and
better ones.' Naomi Alderman 'Livelieness . . . infectious zest . . . as good as anything
Miss Christie has done.' Observer
