Miss Pym agrees to travel to a physical training college to lecture about her best-selling book about psychology. The young ladies immediately befriend her. Not wanting to return to London, she agrees to remain for a few days, finding herself with knowledge of a crime. When the crime results in murder, Miss Pym must decide what she will do with the damning evidence. Ms. Tey keeps you guessing until the very end! Her final decision will provide opportunity for good discussion.
I enjoyed analyzing the young ladies at this college with Miss Pym. However, it took over 2/3s of the book to encounter the crime! I needed to remind myself that this book was originally published in 1946 and to appreciate that era's writing approach. Modern and/or non-British readers may sometimes be puzzled by the word choice and allusions.
Considerations: some swearing, some racial comments (a reflection of that time period)
