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:
ALL 20 OF AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MISS MARPLE STORIES IN A SINGLE VOLUME
Miss Marple made her fist appearance in a book in 1930, and her twelfth and final novel was published shortly after Agatha Christie's death almost 50 years later. In the intervening years Miss Marple also featured in 20 short stories, published in a number of different collections. But never before have they been available together.
In this complete volume, Miss Marple uses her unique insight to deduce the truth about a series of unsolved crimes – cases of a girl framed for theft, some disappearing bloodstains, the cryptic last message of a poisoned man, a woman killed within days of writing her will, a spiritualist who predicts death, a mortally wounded stranger in a church, a Christmas tragedy...
In all 20 ingenious crimes, every one guaranteed to keep you guessing until the turn of the final page.
