Synopsis

When her friends from the Tuesday Night Club visit Miss Marple’s house the conversation often turns to unsolved crimes...

Trying to solve these thirteen mysteries are Raymond West, a young writer, the artist Joyce Lemprière, Dr Pender the clergyman, who claims to know the hidden side of human character, Mr Petherick, a lawyer who is only interested in the logical approach and Sir Henry Clithering, whose experience as commissioner of Scotland Yard speaks for itself.

Then of course there is Miss Marple who has observed enough about human nature to be more than a match for the most perspicacious investigator...

About this title

Review:

“The plots are so good that one marvels... most of them would have made a full-length thriller.”
Daily Mirror

From the Back Cover:

One Tuesday evening a group gathers at Miss Marple's house and the conversation turns to unsolved crimes...

The case of the disappearing bloodstains; the thief who committed his crime twice over; the message on the death-bed of a poisoned man which read 'heap of fish'; the strange case of the invisible will; a spiritualist who warned that 'Blue Geranium' meant death...

Now pit your wits against the powers of deduction of the 'Tuesday Night Club'.

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots.
