So bittersweet to see Rafiel brought back this way. But what a wonderful story. Finally Ms Marple taking center stage. Pity it's the second last book in the series. 

Of course, there's a healthy scoop of slut shaming and racism for the era. I've read enough Christie to glaze over it but it's very present and unapologetic.

The plot bored me a lot ngl and there was a lot of stuff in there
in particular how sexual assault victims were portrayed
which rubbed me the wrong way

dammit. This was a nice little Miss Marple puzzle until a character offhandedly mentioned how "girls these days" are ~~asking for it~~ and was not immediately torn a new one. Yes I know, a product of the times, but I can afford to be picky with what I read and this was not it.

I see why people don't like this one - definitely read the content warnings or other reviews for more on that. But it's helped me read a book in a stressful time and I found it both familiar (for Marple) and surprising (for the way the mystery was presented). I also liked that there was a slight connection to the Caribbean mystery one and more references to other characters in this universe. (But I am still laughing about MM's description of women as "less accurate" than men!)
