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 Paddock 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...

Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
