The best thing about this book is that it is extremely pacy and brilliant in the last 6 to 7 chapters and the worst thing would be that half of the book , is absolutely boring ,with nothing at all-no big plot details,infact you don't even know what the plot surmise is.But having said that, Christie and Miss Marple get amazing towards the end.Set amidst a Victorian house and 'Three Sisters',with lots of verbose diction and plenty of unnecessary dialogues(as is always the case with Miss Marple mysteries)- this story needs a patient reader, at first.But once the initial boredom is done with,this book is an exceptional read, and much better than some of the Miss Marple tales
