About This Item
Synopsis
E-book exclusive extras:1) Christie biographer Charles Osborne's essay on The Thirteen Problems;2) "The Marples": the complete guide to all the cases of crime literature's foremost female detective.Over six Tuesday evenings a group gathers at Miss Marple’s house to ponder unsolved crimes. The company is inclined to forget their elderly hostess as they become mesmerized by the sinister tales they tell one another. But it is always Miss Marple’s quiet genius that names the criminal or the means of the misdeed. As indeed is true in subsequent gatherings at the country home of Colonel and Mrs Bantry, where another set of terrible wrongs is related by the assembled guests—and righted, by Miss Marple.
