(4) Handling: Miss Marple is on a holiday at the
                         Golden Palm Hotel in the island of St.
                         Honoré. She is enjoying herself, yet
                         there is something lacking. At home in
                         St. Mary Mead, there was always some-
                         thing going on, something one could
                         get one's teeth into.
                             Miss Marple listens politely to Ma-
                         jor Palgrave's boring stories of his
                         early life in Kenya–or at any rate
                         pretends to listen. She is not paying
                         much attention when he starts telling
                         her about a murderer he has known ;
                         and when he reaches in his wallet to
                         show Miss Marple a snapshot of that
                         murderer, he is suddenly interrupted.
                         Murder follows.
                             In this absorbing new novel the
                         clues and keys to the murderer's iden-
                         tity are fairly–one might even say
                         ostentatiously – paraded in front of
                         the reader. Yet we believe it will be a
                         very perceptive reader who observes
                         and interprets them correctly. Most
                         of the readers of A Caribbean Mystery
                         will in the end ask themselves how
                         they could have been so blind–or how
                         Agatha Christie could have fooled
                         them once again.
                             This is yet another dazzling tour-
                         de-force from the greatest crime nov-
                         elist of our time.
