A Caribbean Mystery: A Miss Marple Mystery by Agatha Christie - Miss Marple is vacationing in the Caribbean and although she is only half paying attention, she can't help but be intrigued by an old soldier's story of someone that got away with murder when he reacts as if he had recognized the murderer! And when the old man is found dead in his sleep, she wonders if perhaps there was something to his story. In true Miss Marple style, she observes people and listens to their gossip and does her best to piece together what may have happened.
Next one of the resorts maids is found murdered, and more questions arise. Who did the Major see when he was telling Miss Marple his story? Who had opportunity to murder the maid? Miss Marple goes to work listening and encouraging confidences, and even enlists some aid from an unlikely ally among the guests. And soon she is certain the murderer will strike again, but can she discern who the victim will be in time to intervene?
A cozy mystery in a tropical setting, this one had quite a long list of possible suspects and although I made my guess about the murderer's identity, I really wasn't certain until late in the book. An entertaining whodunit read with interesting characters, and of course I had to admire the enterprising elderly lady detective who unravels the case before the professionals do!
