Now with a beautiful new series look, Agatha Christie's first mystery
to feature the beloved investigator Miss Marple--as a dead body in a
clergyman's study proves to the indomitable sleuth that no place, holy
or otherwise, is a sanctuary from homicide.
Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in St. Mary Mead,
where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country
village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception, and death.
Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing landowner is the
most detested man in the village. Everyone--even in the vicar--wishes he
were dead. And very soon he is--shot in the head in the vicar's own
study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss
Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the
unmasking of the killer.
