Representaion To Books Nemesis (Miss Marple #12)
In utter disbelief, Jane Marple read the letter addressed to her from the recently deceased Mr Rafiel - an acquaintance she had met briefly on her travels. He had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. It was most intruguing. Soon she is faced with a new crime - the ultimate crime - murder. It seems someone is adamant that past evils remain buried...Rating Regarding Books Nemesis (Miss Marple #12)

Miss Jane Marple, the lovable, old, amateur crime fighter , (murders only please, how much time does she have left? ) is back in action again, reading the obituaries in the newspapers, something the ancients, can't stop from doing, all their friends and the people they know, are dropping like flies. Miss Jane , discovers that Mr. Jason Rafiel, who worked with her in a previous case , ( A Caribbean Mystery) has passed away, he was a rich, retired army major, a wizard at finances. She had met himWith the year winding down, I find myself tying up loose ends or trying to find one or two more quality novels to read. Yet, when the reading detectives group selected to read Miss Marple's final case, Nemesis, this month, I could not resist joining in the group read. I have long viewed mysteries as my palette cleaners, my bridge in between denser reads. No author does this trick better for me than the queen of crime, Dame Agatha Christie.

An unusual mystery as Miss Marple is sent on a quest with no clues as to who has been murdered... I loved the atmosphere of this book which has scenes steeped in a brooding melancholy - and it's rich in literary allusions: Clytemnestra, Ophelia, Chekhov's Three Sisters, Romeo and Juliet. More disconcerting are some horrible period attitudes towards women and rape ("Girls... are far more ready to be raped nowadays... their mothers insist... that they should call it rape").It's lovely, too, to see
Very slow start. Good plot, though.

In a letter written before his death Mr. Rafiel asks Miss Marple to solve a murder and if she is successful, she will receive 20,000 pounds. However, Mr. Rafiel does not provide any details and Miss Marple does not even know whose murder she is to solve. Driven more by the challenge than the money, Miss Marple takes
