MISS MARPLE (eBook): The Murder at the Vicarage/ the Body in the Library/ the Moving Finger

Synopsis

The first three full-length Miss Marple novels, set before and during the Second World War, see the world's most accomplished amateur sleuth unravelling the dark side of human nature to uncover three cases of Murder Most Foul! The Murder at the VicarageAgatha Christie?s first ever Miss Marple mystery. It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later. From seven potential murderers, Miss Marple must seek out the suspect who has both motive and opportunity. The Body in the LibraryIt?s seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing evening dress and heavy make-up, which is now smeared across her cheeks. The Moving FingerLymstock is a town with more than its share of shameful secrets ? a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail causes only a minor stir. But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, commits suicide. Only Miss Marple questions the coroner?s verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner?
