They Do It with Mirrors (Miss Marple Mysteries)

by Agatha Christie

Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in a Victorian mansion which doubles as a rehabilitiation centre for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when a youth fires a revolver at the administrator, Lewis Serrocold. Neither is injured. But a mysterious visitor, Mr Gilbrandsen, is less fortunate - shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building.

Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and vows to discover the real reason for Mr Gilbrandsen's visit.

Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

This is my favourite Miss Marple novel so far. I'm working my way through all of them. The cast of characters and setting is so deliciously dramatic, and the theme of theatrics and perception is what makes this story so thrilling. Unravelling the mystery from early on only made it all the more enjoyable for me. This is the perfect novel for readers who like to observe the performance from all vantage points in order to figure out just what is happening both on stage and behind the scenes.
