Average rating3.8
A Miss Marple Series Novel Six people sit down to a sumptuous meal at a table laid for seven. In front of the empty place is a sprig of rosemary: rosemary for remembrance. A strange sentiment considering no one is likely to forget the night exactly a year ago, that Rosemary Barton died at exactly the same table, her beautiful face unrecognizable, convulsed with pain and horror.But then Rosemary had always been memorable: she had the ability to arouse strong passions in most people she met. In one such case, strong enough to kill.

Another lovely little twisty murder mystery. I thought I knew who'd “dunnit” a few times but, as usual, I was wrong! This was my first Colonel Race novel (and apparently the last) and I thoroughly enjoyed it - I shall be scouring the charity shops for more!
I am making my way chronologically through Christie's mystery novels and I am unsure how I feel about this one. It was not the most exciting, nor the most surprising. On the other hand, it wasn't the most obvious either. But overall, I enjoyed reading it. All of her books are worth reading.
I know they like to categorize the books by detective, but this hardly counts as a Colonel Race novel. That is, he does play a significant part in uncovering the mystery but doesn't, in the end, solve it.
This is my first story with colonel race, and kinda meh for me? I'm not rating it because I was expecting hercule and i'm not familiar with Race to rate it properly.
Decent mystery.
