NemesisReading #4

Jane Marple is continuing her home and garden tour, and it gets a little more interesting as the tour guide talks about a murder that took place in one of the homes. Jane Marple continues to take notes on her fellow travelers and their actions, as well as this murder. Mrs. Temple, one of Miss Marple's fellow travelers, tells her about another death, not connected to the house and garden tour. She said that Mr. Rafiel's son was once engaged to a girl, but they broke it off for an unknown reason. The girl he was once engaged to died. Miss Marple asks Mrs. Temple why she died and Mrs. Temple exclaimed, "Love!"..."One of the most frightening words there is in the world." She pauses, and she repeats the word love again, the very last word of the chapter. The chapter title is "Love." I think that Agatha Christie purposely did this because I am guessing that the murder Jane Marple will be solving has something to do with love. This could be a very important clue in Jane Marple's mystery quest.
