Publisher's Summary
It's seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing evening dress and heavy make-up, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry?

Not what I expected - better!
I’d watched the Telemovie of this book a number of times and was sure the story would be the same for the book, but was genuinely happy to discover differences, including a different murderer. Recommended book for Agatha Christie fans.

great
One of my favourite Christies so far. Miss Marple was lovely as ever and posts of good twists and turns.

Brilliant narration
Stephanie Cole’s character voices are utterly convincing. Her male character voices are so good that at one point I suddenly thought, ‘Wasn’t the narrator female?’ I like her Miss Marple voice too — distinctive yet unobtrusive. Some actors overplay this role with too much fluffiness or (shudder) too jolly. Cole has nailed it. I will now buy other stories to hear more of her voices.
It goes without saying that the story is good. Christie was always a master of character and of plot.

Yay, I finally guessed an Agatha Christie!
I'm so relieved! I was so certain the whole story, so enjoyable! I much prefer Poirot but that was fun, and my first Miss Marple too!

Enjoyable mystery
With wonderful narration by Stephanie Cole this murder mystery fairly crackles along. Another classic from the pen of the Queen of Crime.
