"A moderately good Miss Marple book. Here, Miss M must sort thru naiveté regarding good and evil and...a unique scam...(no spoilers here...you won't know all...till the end) .

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years.”

“What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened ... Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues.
