Typical. A bunch of busy bodies gossiping about town...about the new wife. About the past of the husband. There is always that one "little miss" that wants a piece of the action. Oh, does she give it to you.
This short has just enough fuel to have a bit of a plot twist that you won't see coming. Or maybe you will. Good twist. I wish there was just a few pages more to develop the ending. Not a bad read.

Cute. Short. Not a typical Miss Marple due to the nature of the story-within-a-story, but it's a nice Christie.

2.5 stars. I might be more generous if I hadn't already read Endless Night. Not anything to rave about, but nice in a slogging, boring kind of way.
Read Murder of Roger Ackroyd first, then Endless Night, and then Case of the Caretaker, because they all have similar plot lines, but varying degrees of interesting story building, and Roger Ackroyd is by far the best of the three.
