A body of a young woman found in the house of Miss Marple's close friend thrusts the inimitable sleuth into the middle of a thorny investigation in this impeccably plotted masterpiece from the Queen of Crime.
A young woman found murdered
A scandal in the making
When Mrs Bantry wakes to find a body in her library, there’s only one woman to call: her good friend Jane Marple.
But she hasn’t called her old friend for comfort.
The body in her library has been murdered and Miss Marple is so very good at solving murders.
Her investigations uncover a scandal far darker than either of them could have imagined, and this time she may be out of her depth.
Never underestimate Miss Marple.
