Miss Marple visita sua amiga dos tempos de escola, Ruth Van Rydock. Ruth teme que algo estranho esteja acontecendo na mansão de sua irmã, Carrie Louise, e pede que Miss Marple vá visitá-la.

Carrie Louise está em seu terceiro casamento. Sua mansão transformou-se em centro de recuperação de delinquentes juvenis, uma tarefa que muito entusiasma seu marido, Lewis Serrocold. Também residem ali Mildred Strete, filha e única parente consanguínea de Carrie Louise; Pippa, filha adotiva; Gina, filha já adulta de Pippa, casada com o norte-americano Walter Hudd; Julie Bellever, a governanta; Stephen e Alex Restarick, filhos do segundo marido de Carrie Louise, e Edgard Lawson, assistente de Lewis Serrocold.

Um dia, Christian Gulbrandsen, filho do primeiro marido de Carrie Louise, chega à procura de Lewis. Ninguém sabe muito bem o que ele quer, mas imagina-se que sejam assuntos ligados a negócios. À noite, ele se recolhe a seu quarto para escrever uma carta e acaba por ser encontrado morto, atingido por tiros de revólver. A carta que estivera escrevendo desaparece. Miss Marple entra em ação.
