Nemesis Reading #6

In the last reading, Jane Marple finds out the crime she is supposed to investigate from Professor Wanstead, one of the other members of the tour. He pulls her aside, and she tries to act as though she doesn't know what he is talking about at first, then as she gains trust in him, she shares that Mr. Rafiel has set her out on a journey to solve this specific crime. Ms. Marple is very careful about giving out too much information. In this way, she is a wonderful detective, especially for this case. The case Ms. Marple is investigating is the murder of a girl whom was once engaged to Mr. Rafiel's son, Michael. Michael was a troubled child, always getting into trouble. However, Professor Wanstead had interviewed Michael, and said that Michael did not seem like a murderer. Jane Marple's job is to find out whether or not Michael Rafiel is innocent or guilty of murdering his ex-fiance. I thought that it was rather odd that the case Mr. Rafiel wanted solved was about his son. Agatha Christie probably did this to add suspense to the story. I am very interested to see what will happen next.
