Book Description (from amazon.com)

My Read:
This is another good read of Ms. Christie. To me, the peak of reading this book came when Miss Marple said: "No, no, not Percival. Lance." When everyone thought the older brother was the prime suspect Miss Marple held her ground and had faith in weaknesses of human nature. It's the younger brother who claimed he was not interested at money murdered the father. The plot was an ingenious one. But nothing could be hidden from the shrewd old-fashioned lady. Bravo, Miss Marple!
