This exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery gathers
together in one magnificent volume all of Agatha Christie's short
stories featuring her beloved intrepid investigator, Miss Marple. It's
an unparalleled compendium of murder, mayhem, mystery, and detection
that represents some of the finest short form fiction in the crime
fiction field, and is an essential omnibus for Christie fans.
Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as "the typical old maid of
fiction," Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy
hamlet of St. Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained
an unparalleled insight into human nature--and used it to devastating
effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of
Scotland Yard, has been heard to say: "She's just the finest detective
God ever made"--and many Agatha Christie fans would agree.
