Had the house been merely what it is called (perhaps rightly) a haunted house, you would have reacted differently, I think. It was the right size and a reasonable price, so you bought it. You wanted a house on the south coast, you were looking for one, and you passed a house that stirred memories and attracted you. It’s just a very remarkable coincidence – and remarkable coincidences do happen. It does all rather depend on a number of coincidences, beginning with the fact that Gwenda has bought the house that she had lived in as a very young child, but as Miss Marple explains to Gwenda: It’s a most baffling ‘˜cold case’, because first of all they have to discover who, if anyone, had been killed, where, when and why. She is convinced that she is going mad, but she is helped by Miss Marple, whose nephew, Raymond West is a distant cousin of Gwenda’s husband, Giles. She did not stop, even then, but half walked, half ran, in a blind panic up the Haymarket () She sprang up from her seat, pushed blindly past the others out into the aisle, through the exit and up the stairs and so to the street.
