Plans for peaceful seaside holidays rarely work out well in the world of classic British mysteries. Retired professor Andrew Basnett, for example, envisioning sandcastles and the blessings of a pale English sun on his pale English skin, is startled to meet his nephew, Peter, on the beach. Hes more startled (and not entirely thrilled) when Peter gets him invited to dinner with a celebrity novelist. And hes extremely startled when the novelists sister-in-law is shot in the summer house and Peter seems the likeliest suspect. We like to say that Andrew Basnett should be known as Mr. Marple, because the series village settings, pinpoint plotting, and canny, creaky sleuth are so pleasingly reminiscent of the tales of St. Mary Mead. But they feature, in addition, a gentle wit that (dare we say it?) Ms. Christie could only dream about, and this final installment is a perfect exemplar.
