It features the detective Miss Marple who takes a two-week holiday in London, at Bertram's Hotel, where she stayed in her youth. The hotel has a personality of its own, and a niche clientele of important church people, older women who lived through the Edwardian age, and girls looking for a safe place to stay in London. Miss Marple enjoys her trips around London, and learns that she cannot go back: life moves forward. She witnesses the complex lives of an estranged mother and daughter, and as always works with the police following a shooting outside the hotel.* This is a NEAR VG++ text copy of the 1st/12th. with some age & considerable cover wear reducing it to ACC.* 0
