Father and son had become estranged when Michael had been accused of the murder of his fiancee and the murder of another girl who had disappeared from the village.
2. What was the name of the Headmistress of St Agnes' school?

Answer: Elizabeth Temple

Elizabeth Temple was on the same coach trip as Jane and her godson. She had wanted to go to Abbey Ducis to find out more about one of her favourite pupils - Verity Hunt.
3. How much money had Jason Rafiel's son been left in his will?

Answer: 2 million pounds

The proviso to inheriting the money was that Michael return to Rafiel House. This was the house given to him on his engagement to Verity.
4. What was Mr Rafiel's son's fiancee's name (sorry - don't want to give away any answers)?

Answer: Verity Hunt

Verity was the ward of the Bradbury-Scott sisters. She died before she could marry Michael, her true love. She was a "shining girl".
5. What was the mode of transport on the "Historic Homes and Gardens" tour?

Answer: Coach

Mr Rafiel had sent Jane on the tour to discover the answer to the mystery involving his son, even if it meant that his son was discovered to be the murderer.
6. If Jane was successful at solving the mystery surrounding the Rafiels what was her reward to be?

Answer: A monetary reward

The amount was £20,000 which Jane thought was huge (it was at the time). Still, she did think treating herself to Marron Glace would be nice.
7. What were the names of the Bradbury-Scott sisters?

Answer: Lavinia, Clothilde, and Anthea

The sisters were the guardians of Verity and lived in the Old Manor House in Abbey Ducis. Miss Marple stayed with them at the behest of Jason Rafiel.
8. How was Elizabeth Temple murdered?

Answer: She was hit by a falling boulder

Miss Temple was checking in on a fellow student, Verity Hunt, that had died, and wanted to find out more about her death. When walking along a path, a falling boulder struck her and Miss Temple was taken to the hospital. She recovered there enough to talk to Miss Marple about Verity and asked her to find out the truth about Verity's death. Elizabeth Temple soon fell into unconsciousness again and did not recover.
9. Who witnessed someone running away from the scene of the crime?

Answer: Professor Wanstead

The professor was another of Jason Rafiel's guests on the coach tour - put there to help Jane with the mystery. He was from the Home Office and specialised in Criminal Psychology, at the time of Verity's murder he had assessed Michael Rafiel.
10. What is the name of the Rafiels' country pile?

Answer: Rafiel House

The house was the scene of Verity Hunt's murder and had been left to decay whilst Jason Rafiel was estranged from Michael.
11. What is the name of Mr Rafiel's solicitors?

Answer: Schuster and Broadribb

The solicitors were executors of Mr Rafiel's will and ensured that people such as Jane Marple, Professor Wanstead and Elizabeth Temple went on the coach tour.
12. What was the name of the girl who disappeared from the village at the same time as the murder?

Answer: Nora

Nora was the girl found in the ditch, but because the face of the body was beaten the body was difficult to identify. Clothilde Bradbury Scott was called to identify the body. Apoint of interest - in some earlier books Nora had the surname Brent.
13. What was Mr Rafiel's son known as in his life as a down and out (tramp)?

Answer: Raf

Michael had taken to living rough on the streets of London when he became estranged from his father.
14. Why were Miss Barrow and Miss Cooke watching Miss Marple?

Answer: They were there to protect her

They were Miss Marple's "guardian angels" and had been employed by Mr Rafiel who thought Jane may need some protecting. Mr Rafiel was proved right as they saved Jane from a murder attempt. Mr Rafiel obviously thought of everything!
15. Who was the murderer?

Answer: Clothilde Bradbury-Scott

She tried to kill Jane with a milky bedtime drink because she could unmask her, she pushed the statue onto Miss Temple because she knew too much and she battered Nora Brent so that she could identify her as Verity. All of this because she could not bear to see Verity leave her when she married Michael Rafiel. She killed Verity as an act of obsessive love.
