They Do It With Mirrors by Agatha Christie. It's a Miss Marple novel. I haven't read it before, but I'm sure I saw an adaptation at some point. Can't remember how it ends, though. I'm about 2/3 of the way through, and enjoying it for the most part, excepting the casual racism that keeps popping up.

I read that one fairly recently (sometime in the past year). I enjoyed it too but as an adult, I'm definitely becoming more aware of the casual racism (and antisemitism) that rears its head in these golden age mysteries. Some of Agatha Christie's books are more blatant than others. :\
