"Murder is easy when nobody thinks it's murder."
It certainly is, in the little village of Wychwood.
Honoria Waynflete kills her retarded brother (drowned) to save him from incarceration. To cover herself, she then kills Mrs Gibbs (mushroom in the stew), the vicar (insecticide?), Miss Pembleton (pushed down escalator), Dr Humbleby (blood poisoning), Bridget Conway (hat dye) and Mrs Horton (insulin in the toe). I think that is right.
If Miss Marple hadn't solved the mystery when she did, Wychwood would have been a ghost town by the end of the year.
This was another amusing and outrageous rewrite of a clunky piece of tosh by Agatha Christie, the Queen of impossible crimes committed by implausible characters for preposterous reasons.
I loved it!
