No matter how logical we think we're being when we read her, she always manages to send us swimming after her red herrings while ignoring that huge whale in the corner of the tank."--Margaret Maron, award-winning author of the Deborah Knott Mysteries
"Ingenious."--Times Literary Supplement (London)
"This is the best of the novels starring Christie's Miss Marple."--New York Times
