'A Caribbean Mystery' is another excellent choice. Here, Marple is on holiday in the Caribbean but, of course, she can't escape mystery. The tropical setting adds an interesting backdrop to the typical Marple - style mystery - solving. She has to figure out who the murderer is among the vacationers and locals alike.
