Quite a contrast to our Miss Marple, who is genteel and soft spoken. I did not even bother to try to guess the murderer.Īs usual I loved the repartee of Miss Marple with one of the characters, here Mr Rafiel, an old business tycoon, who is simply rude and too blunt for anyone. I had to stop at different places, despite the colorful characters. Though it is a quick read and I normally like Christie’s book, this one was too plain to my liking. Very far from the bests of Agatha Christie, A Caribbean Mystery has a pleasant change of the ambiance from the cold England and the usual local bodies that Miss Marple talks about. Read more to find how Miss Marple solves the mystery, in her own style in A Caribbean Mystery. But of course, why would anyone believe a sweet, old lady’s imaginations? Things turn more ghastly when the body counts keep increasing and every one of the guests had something to hide from the other. Miss Marple finds his sudden death very suspicious because just the day before he died the Major was telling her about a murderer in their presence. But all could not be that swell, can they? It so seemed, until the old Major Palgrove dies out of an innocent heart attack. She is surrounded by interesting group of people consisting of old tycoons, bird watchers, secretaries and even masseurs. She is the elderly sleuth the local busybody of St Meads, England who is sent on a Caribbean vacation by her well meaning nephew.
