Review

The setting of announcing a murder through a newspaper advertisement is original.
“A murder is announced. Friday, October 29th, at 6
PM. Place: Little Paddocks. Those who are interested are welcome.”
The residents think this advertisement is either a play or a joke, and some come to the Little Paddocks mansion out of curiosity.
The owner of the mansion is flustered but welcomes the guests, and when the set time arrives, a sudden power outage occurs.

At that moment, a gunshot rings out, and an intruder enters but is shot dead on the spot.

The play seemed to end as an attempted murder by the intruder, but a new truth is revealed by Miss Marple.

The family tree was complicated, so it was a bit difficult, but I read it with interest because the setting was unique.
