When reading this book, I enjoyed it immensely. I normally don't get scared for the characters, but Gwenda did take a little soft spot in my heart. 
 Sometimes the descriptions of a story is so vivid one forgets that they are reading a fictional story and not living one. 
 The story follows the life of Gwenda who has newly arrived in England from New Zealand, leaving her husband behind who will join her shortly. While looking for a house in south of England she comes upon an old country house. She immediately purchases it feeling a homeliness within the house as if she lived there before, something which feels familiar. While renovating the house, she goes to London to visit some friends where she Gwenda comes into the acquaintance of Miss Marple. They decide to go to Opera, during the show certain lines triggers the memories of Gwenda in which she see a murder being committed. After that, the hunt begins on who was the women being murdered, how does the house comes into the picture, who murdered the women. So many question. For that you will have to read it.
