The Murder at the Vicarage

When Colonel Protheroe, an unpopular magistrate, is found dead, the sleepy village of St. Mary Mead is forced to confront long-buried scandals. Miss Marple steps into this web of gossip and concealed motives to untangle who had reason enough to kill. This reissue captures Christie’s gentle humor and authoritative plotting.

The Body in the Library

Morning in the Bantry household turns chilling when a young woman is discovered in the library, dressed for a night out. As rumors of disgrace spread and another charred body is found, Miss Marple ingeniously sets a trap to expose the killer. A compelling example of Christie’s talent for complex, character-driven mysteries.

The Moving Finger

Lymstock’s deceptive calm is shattered by anonymous hate mail and a tragic suicide. Miss Marple doubts the coroner’s verdict and peels back layers of small-town secrecy until motives and identities shift like sand. Suspenseful and psychologically rich, this story shows Christie’s range beyond the conventional crime puzzle.

Sleeping Murder

Gwenda’s new home awakens frightening recollections and a sense of dread tied to a long-ago “perfect” crime. Turning to Miss Marple, they work together to reveal a haunting truth. Often described as Miss Marple’s final case, it’s atmospheric and emotionally resonant.

A Murder Is Announced

An advert in the paper announces a scheduled murder at Miss Blacklock’s house — only the intended victim is not who anyone expects. With concealed identities, mixed motives, and a second death, Miss Marple and a determined inspector navigate twists leading to a dramatic confrontation.
