MEDIA REVIEWS
Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe.
So when he's found dead in the vicarage study,there's no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead.
In fact,Jane Marple can think of at least seven.
As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish,everyone becomes an amateur detective.
The police dismiss her as a prying busybody,but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth . . .
Never underestimate Miss Marple.

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.
