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… 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
