While this was a good story it left me feeling a bit disappointed
because it’s in the Miss Marple series however she is absent for the
vast majority of the story. If you are looking for any sort of
historical mystery set in England then this is not a bad choice but if
you want to read a Miss Marple story then there are better ones in my
opinion. The plot begins with a brother and a sister who move to a small
village whist the brother is recouping from some injuries. They begin
to get hate letters but come to find they aren’t the only ones. As this
continues, someone ends up dead in what seems to be a suicide in
reaction to one of the hate letter they received. The question is was it
suicide or is the letter writer the culprit? It is a really good read
if you like mysteries, just know that Miss Marple does not appear till
the very end so it doesn’t have the same feeling as the others in her
series.
