Nemesis Reading #7

Jane Marple tells Professor Wanstead that she just realized that she had met one of the members of the tour, Mrs. Cooke, long before the tour started. However, Jane Marple feels something fishy is going on and that Mrs. Cooke may not be who she says she is. Her hair was dyed a different color than when Jane last saw her outside of her house in St. Mary Mead. Jane had only slightly recognized her when they first met, and she realized a few days after who she was. When they first met outside of St. Mary Mead, "Mrs. Cooke" introduced herself as Miss Bartlett. This was only weeks before the tour started. Mrs. Marple said she had asked Mrs. Cooke if she was in St. Mary Mead, and she lied. She may have had something to do with the accident with Miss Temple. One thing that always keeps me reading Agatha Christie's books is that she always links unexpected characters throughout the story. The reader has to be alert whenever reading her books, because even a character or section of the story that may seem insignificant may come back to play a large role in the mystery.
