Too many interchangeable characters for an otherwise decent mystery.

On waking to find a young woman’s body on the hearth rug of her library, Mrs Brantry calls her good friend Miss Marple…
This was clever - I never guessed whodunnit or how the whole thing was orchestrated. So, a great puzzle of a murder mystery, which also highlights changes in society at the time around class and money.
But, for a Miss Marple mystery, she hardly features - her inclusion almost felt like an afterthought. I’m fairly apathetic towards Miss Marple (sorry to the fans) and even I was mildly dismayed by that - luckily the actual mystery was a good one!
A clever, twisty and scandalous murder mystery couched in the gossip of village life.

I’d read that one before but needed to remind me again. Hadn’t quite sure who’d done it but close enough with the deceits.
Another classic Christie and Miss Marple murder mystery.
