Kittys Notes & Book Snippet

A vintage crime fiction classic from the Queen of the Mystery novel Agatha Christie featuring her charming little old busybody Miss Marple!

These super old Agatha Christie who dunnits are quintessentially English, apart of course from the marvellous detective Hercule Poirot.

Instead in this book we have the tireless and determined Miss Marple who is keen to needle her way into the most difficult of mysteries and keenly unravel them with her tenacious sleuthing.

The characterful Miss Marple inspired a whole generation of women to believe that life isn't over at sixty as she proves her prowess as a detective time and time again!

Book Excerpt from "The Murder at the Vicarage".

"In the peaceful village of St. Mary Mead nothing ever happens. So it seems almost incredible when Colonel Protheroe, the churchwarden, is discovered, shot through the head, in the Vicarage study.

Everybody thinks they know who has done it -- including Miss Marple, the real old maid of the village who knows everything and sees everything and hears everything ! She declares that at least seven people have reasons for wishing Colonel Protheroe out of the way !

Excitement dies down when somebody confesses to having committed the crime. But that is not the end, for almost immediately somebody quite different also confesses ! And there is a third confession through the telephone !

But who really killed Colonel Protheroe ? "
