Binding: paperback

Section: Mystery/Suspense

St. Mary Mead appears to be a typically quaint English country village, but many dark secrets lurk under its placid surface. When Colonel Protheroe, the exceedingly disagreeable local magistrate, is found shot to death in the vicar's study, the police are confounded. Nearly everyone in the village had good reason to wish the man dead, witness accounts conflict, and two contradictory confessions further muddy the waters. But the vicar's observant neighbor, Miss Marple, notices far more than most. An adept and shrewd student of human nature, she is the only one clever enough to untangle the clues and solve the mystery.
