Pubblicato in Italia con il titolo Nemesi. Un eccentrico miliardario lascia un’eredità a Miss Marple, ma lei deve risolvere un caso di cui non sa nulla. Ci riuscirà?
When Miss Marple was on holiday in the Caribbean, she met an eccentric tycoon, Mr. Jason Rafael, and he must have found her very impressive because at his death she is contacted by his solicitors. He left her £20.000 pounds if she investigates and solves a crime. With not much information on the crime or the suspects, Miss Marple is initially dubious that she will accomplish it, but she’s never back down from a challenge so she embarks on a tour of famous British houses and gardens organized by Mr. Rafiel prior to his death. Surely, one of the other fifteen people taking part in the tour is connected to the crime…
While those around her make a fuss about her and insist that she should rest, Miss Marple is still full of energy, at least mentally. In this novel, she’s asked to investigate an unspecified crime. It seems an impossible task, but guess what? She succeeds! With many twists and turns, Nemesis was a gripping read, from start to finish.
