As Miss Marple sat basking in the Caribbean sunshine, she felt mildly discontented with life. True, the warmth eased her rheumatism, but here in paradise nothing ever happened. Eventually, her interest was aroused by an old soldier's yarn about strange coincidence. Infuriatingly, just as he was about to show her an astonishing photograph, the Major's attention wandered. He never did finish the story...
Wir befinden uns diesmal nicht in Miss Marples Wohnort, sondern in der Karibik, wo sich die Dame quasi auf Kur befindet.

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.
