Cheap satin and peroxide blondes were a rare sight in St. Mary Mead, at least before film-man Basil Blake bought a cottage and invited down the London crowd. Then a girl in a garish get-up is found strangled in Colonel Bantry's library, and it appears Basil is involved.

Oh that was a good one. No spoilers, but I really like the way things were done.
Dropped in overnight
botching carefully laid plans
hardly even missed.
Not sure how many Miss Marple's I've read but I was always surprised at how she picked up on things. I know she's imaginary, but still.
I found the plot complex enough to keep me focused on the story at the moment, and I don't think I figured out who it was until the last few paragraphs, which is how I like a mystery. And I'm so thankful the story isn't as dark and gory as many of the more recent authors are!
