I thoroughly enjoyed this book when i read it at my library a while back and after I couldn't find it in a charity shop, I decided to buy it at full price. This is quite a show of appreciation for me, I don't have much money, still being at school! Anyway, I found the characters engaging and AC's subtle wit at growing old was charming, as always. In my opinion it was a relatively simple plot, which I am not going to give away.
I don't think that this is a first time Marple, there are better Miss Marple books but it fits in with the rest of the series very well.

I liked the book. I found Miss Knight really hilarious, in the way she treated Miss Marple.
In addition, I found the ending brilliant (I DID spot the motive, and thus, the killer, but I only tumbled to it a few paragraphs near the solution). Definately not a masterpiece like, say, "A Murder is Announced", but a very nice book in its own respect. It's not flawless (far from it), but it's still a great read.
