Nine intriguing talesOne unequalled storyteller
MEDIA REVIEWS
An unknown wounded man in a church. A fatal riding accident. A corpse and a tape measure.
Whether in St Mary Mead or further afield,there is always much wickedness lurking below the surface,should,like Jane Marple,you have the eyes to see it.
Published posthumously,this collection of tales,seven of them featuring Agatha Christie's much loved Miss Marple,plus two stand-alone stories,is a treasure trove.

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.
