A Caribbean Mystery (Facsimile) by
Agatha Christie
hbk out March 06
Published by HarperCollins
at £10
The light and breezy facsimile dust jacket hints at the lively atmosphere of this
enjoyable detective story. Miss Marple has ventured further from home than ever, but
as usual, when she is around, murder is not far away. The setting in the Caribbean
may be unfamiliar in the Christie canon, but the plot makes effective use of
relationship tangles that were meat and drink to Dame Agatha. Miss Marple is on top
form here.
