They do it with mirrors by Agatha Christie

Miss Marple is the main character here. This one was tricky, because the whole time I suspected the right person, but couldn't think of the right "how" because there was an accomplice and that's tricky. Especially here, it was hard to guess why this accomplice would do it. This is why I don't particularly love it. Well, I like it, yes, of course, it's written very well, but she sort of tricks you in the end.
We meet Miss Marple right at the beginning, talking to her friend Ruth worried for her sister Carrie Louise, even if she doesn't know why. So Miss Marple goes on a mission to find out if something's really wrong at Carrie Louise's home. They set up a home for difficult kids, to keep them away from crimes, and there is her new husband, her daughter from a previous marriage, the daughter of her adopted daughter now dead and her husband, the two sons of her previous husband but not hers, her faithful helper and a troubled young man.
One day, while a little drama is going on between the husband and the troubled young man, in his room the son of her first husband , been here only for a couple of days on a misterious reason, is found murdered.
Everyone is questioned by the police, and Miss Marple reveals the real reason or her staying and helps with the investigations, and eventually resolves the mistery.
Of course.
