About this eBook

A letter from beyond the graveOne last requestAn unsolvable crime

When Miss Marple receives a letter from the recently deceased millionaire Jason Rafiel, she’s not sure what to make of it.

Knowing her deductive skills, he challenges her to solve a crime. If she does so, she will inherit £20,000.

The only problem is that he has failed to mention who was involved, or where, and when the crime was committed. Jane Marple is intrigued.

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Sorry Poirot, but I’m team Marple every time. A mind to rival the great Sherlock Holmes – and much handier with a knitting needle – yet patronised and underestimated by those around her, her invisibility is her superpower. That and her uncanny understanding of the darkest depths of human nature . . .’
Lucy Foley

‘Her gift is pure genius.’

The beginning of the book is quite different. Don't know what the crime it, where's it going to take place and how to go about it. There are some good twists and turns here and there. The focus on the murders is less and the facts and flashbacks revolving around them are more. Ok..ok.. Not to expect too much from this book

One of her later novels, written when she seemed to be running out of steam. Enjoyable for all that.

Book is nice but if there would be more suspension then it would be better.
