They do it with mirrors

They do it with mirrors / Agatha Christie 182 pgs.

Jane Marple visits an old friend by request of her sister.  The sister is worried.  Things seem a bit off with her sister Carrie Louise and she can't really put her finger on what it is.  Jane Marple arrives to assess the situation and decide if something is really amiss.  Soon after her arrival, there is a murder...then another.  She is in the thick of things and helping the police.

It has been a long time since I've read Agatha Christie but it is such a delight to return.  It seems like her books follow a simple pattern and yet the mysteries are plausible and interesting. Jane Marple is not Wonder Woman, she is, instead, an average woman who pays attention and can put together a theory.  In other words, she doesn't let the "facts" get in the way of what really happened.  This is something to admire.
