Louisa Masters: Hijinks With A Hellhound
GWM living in Oregon.I used to love books that would really stretch me, but lately I've needed more solace from the books that I read.
My ratings are as follows: * 5 stars: it's truly a great book, and I'll want to re-read it again and again. * 4 stars: it's a good book, and I enjoyed reading it. I'll probably re-read it. * 3 stars: It's a fine book, just not special. I may re-read it if I'm looking to just relax and not have to think, but I would probably pick up a new book instead. * 2 stars: I finished it, but might have given up if I were in a different mood. * 1 star: I didn't enjoy the book and probably didn't finish it. I wouldn't blanketly recommend against it, because it might speak to someone else.

Content warning One of the TV adaptations -- I think the Joan Hickman version -- has a great conversation that I love. Miss Marple says that Jason Rafiel chose her not to exonerate his son, but to find the true killer (even if it was his son)
I really like this story. The very concept of having to solve a crime but you don't even know what the crime was is interesting. Of course, it does rely a bit on very lucky events (Miss Marple seeing Anthea Bradbury-Scott posting the package, for example), but many other mysteries entail such lucky coincidences.
