juvenile delinquents are no problem for Jane Marple in trying to solve a murder.
Not one of her absolute tip top, but good. I had just watched the TV movie wit Helen Hayes as Miss Marple and Bette Davis (at the end of her career) as Carrie Louise - perhaps I should not have seen the movie first - the novel is SO MUCH better. Set later on, so not the usual period atmosphere. A surprise ending - I was stunned at "whodunnit." Worth the read for Christie fans. And always fun for me to find one I have never read!
