What makes a Marple mystery great is when motivation and character are our pathways through a thicket of apparently bizarre and random events. That's present in this masterpiece. There's a lot here that doesn't make sense. But you have everything you need, and Marple's presence reminds us this isn't going to be solved by piling up clues, but instead by understanding motives.
