An ordinary village



A shocking announcement

One morning the villagers of Chipping Cleghorn wake to find a strange notice in their papers:



'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm.'



Suspecting this is just a joke, they gather for some evening entertainment.



Then a gunshot is heard.



In desperation, the police turn to an old lady whose hobbies are gardening, gossiping - and solving murders.



After all, old ladies know better than anyone exactly what goes on in quiet English villages...



Never underestimate Miss Marple



'The queen of jaw-dropping, heart-stopping twists.'

Karen M. McManus



'Establishes firmly her claim to the throne of detection. The plot is as ingenious as ever... the dialogue both wise and witty; while the suspense is maintained very skilfully until the final revelation.'

A.A. Milne
