Miss Marple dozes in the West Indian sun; an old soldier talks of elephant-shooting and scandals. Then he dies - and the deceptively frail detective investigates a most exotic murder...
Wir befinden uns diesmal nicht in Miss Marples Wohnort, sondern in der Karibik, wo sich die Dame quasi auf Kur befindet.
Den Fall fand ich okay, aber mir sind die rassistischen Untertöne sauer aufgestoßen.
I loved the story and I was blindsided by the identity of the murderer. However, the racist language and stereotypes did not age well and listening to book instead of reading it probably only made it worse.
