Originally published: London: Collins, 1965.
"An old-fashioned London hotel is not quite as reputable as it makes out to be. When Miss Marple comes up from the country for a holiday in London, she finds what she?s looking for at Bertram?s Hotel: traditional decor, impeccable service, and an unmistakable atmosphere of danger behind the highly polished veneer. Yet, not even Miss Marple can foresee the violent chain of events set in motion when an eccentric guest makes his way to the airport on the wrong day." -- from the publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Mystery, not mere murder submitted by camelsamba on August 30, 2019, 2:30pm I listened to the BBC Radio production of this title. I found it to be an interesting tale, with lots of interconnected parts - more mystery (thefts, missing persons, etc) than mere murder. In the end, the hard-hearted individuals (esp Bess and Elvira) show the heartache of putting Social Airs over true human connection and relationships based on love. Miss Marple is not too annoying with her prying ways, at least not in the BBC production.
Observing the Unusual submitted by kathscot on July 17, 2023, 7:52am Not the typical Miss Mariel story. Both she and the Scotland Yard inspector use observation of the odd to ferret out the truth.
