Synopsis (Goodreads):
One minute, silly Heather Babcock had been babbling on at her movie idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive seizure, poisoned by a deadly cocktail.Thoughts on The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side: There are new owners in the Bantry's old manor and the entire village turns out to welcome them to the neighborhood (or more like the entire village shows up to get a look at the beautiful movie star and her doting husband). When one of the guests ends up dead, Miss Marple has to use her village-know-how and keen insight to figure out the whos and whys of the death.
It seems likely that the cocktail was intended for the beautiful actress. But while the police fumble to find clues, Miss Marple begins to ask her own questions, because as she knows—even the most peaceful village can hide dark secrets.
It seems likely that Marina Gregg was the intended victim, but the deeper Miss Marple dives into her world, the more she starts to wonder why someone would want her dead. An old feud? A soured love affair? Something else? Following the clues, Miss Marple starts to unravel the mystery and figure things out. (And along the way, she ends up finding a housing/companion situation that suits her to a T, so that's a plus since Miss Marple deserves to enjoy living in her own home.)
