It’s seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing an evening dress and heavy makeup, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry? The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple to solve the mystery... before tongues start to wag. When the body of a beautiful blonde is found in the library of Gossington Hall, the rumor-mongers run wild. And just what the young woman was doing in the quiet village is what Miss Jane Marple means to discover, as she sets a clever trap for a ruthless killer.
