Synopsis (Goodreads):

Miss Marple senses danger when she visits a friend living in Stoneygates, a rehabilitation center for delinquents. Her fears are confirmed when someone shoots at the administrator. Although he is not injured, a mysterious visitor is less fortunate—shot dead simultaneously in another part of the building.

Pure coincidence? Miss Marple thinks not, and must use all her cunning to solve the riddle of the stranger’s visit … and his murder.

Thoughts on They Do It With Mirrors: Miss Marple is on the road for this mystery and she doesn't have her usual neighborly cohorts to call on, but that doesn't stop this sharp observer of human nature in figuring things out. She just has to figure out who to trust and trust that SHE will get to the bottom of things before her friend meets a terrible end.

When a visitor is found dead, Miss Marple uses her quick mind to sort through the facts as she knows them. Then she uses her sweet, unassuming self to ferret out more facts. It isn't long before Miss Marple has seen through the lies and subterfuge and gotten to the bottom of the mystery.

I honestly enjoy watching Miss Marple work through the clues and figure out who did the deed (and figure out why they did it). Good stuff all around.
