This story takes place in St. Mary Mead where the once famous actress Marina Gregg has come to live. Surprisingly, Heather Badcock dies after having drunk a poisoned cocktail at a party organised by Marina Gregg. Shortly before her death, Heather was telling Marina how much she admired her and how they had met years ago. The mystery deepens as the death of Heather seems to be accidental.

I actually solved this crime, which rarely happens when I read Christie's stories. For some reason, I found this one very easy to picture in my mind. I love how Christie manages to send clues everywhere and turn every character into a suspect. It is always a joy to read Miss Marple's mysteries.
