Read This If You Love: Fans of the Miss Marple series and classic mysteries
“Oh, I am sure—about the murder. It’s the murderer I’m not sure about.”
In this classic Miss Marple mystery (book #10), Marple is on vacation very far from her beloved home of St. Mary Mead. However, wherever she goes, murder seems to follow her—even all the way to the Caribbean. Staying at the hotel of the St Honore, Miss Marple is getting to know the fellow guests. In short time, one of the guests is dead and while the doctor assumes it was high blood pressure and old age, Miss Marple isn’t so sure. She soon finds herself working alongside Mr. Rafiel (who is both wealthy and elderly) to solve the murder and to unravel all the other connections before more bodies pile up.
This is one of my favorites of the Miss Marple books because we not only get her throughout the entire novel, but she is outside of her home village, which I find adds to the mystery. A Caribbean Mystery brings Death on the Nile to me. It’s an interesting comparison to how the two great fictional characters of mystery compare and contrast.
