Carrie’s husband Lewis has turned their home into a rehabilitation center for juvenile delinquents.

Miss Marple must marshal her shrewdest insights about human nature in this intricately plotted mystery, read with panache by the acclaimed Joan Hickson, who played Miss Marple in a variety of venues.
