From AudioFile
When an ad appears in the gazette announcing a murder to take place on Friday at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m., the locals show up, assuming it's a murder mystery party, only to get shot at and then become witnesses to the real murder of a boy no one knows. Rosemary Leach is a perfect match for this book. She has a beautiful, sweet voice perfectly suited to do justice to the overly civilized denizens of Christie's English countryside. With perfect timing and impeccable delivery, she conjures up the villagers and makes them live and breathe. Fortunately, before too many of them get bumped off, Miss Marple arrives and unravels this tangled skein. Most satisfying all the way around.
