Murder at the Vicarage
Agatha Christie
Introducing Miss Jane Marple
It’s a historic event in detective fiction as the
unflappable sleuth’s passion for gossip – and cheerful
recognition of the worst side of human nature – leads her
to a crime scene at the local vicarage. Colonel Protheroe,
St. Mary Mead’s most loathed magistrate, has been found
shot through the head. But it isn’t the “pompous old
brute’s” murder that raisies eyebrows. Those secrets are
about to put St. Mary Mead on the map – and send Miss
Marple on the trail of a killer with something to hide.
