They each describe how they would kill the much-despised Colonel Protheroe all except Miss Marple, that is. In the evening, Miss Marple joins Anne, Lawrence, the vicar Leonard Clement, the vicar’s wife, Griselda, their nephew, Dennis, and the curate Hawes at the vicar’s house for dinner.

Before marrying and starting a family in London, she had served in a Devon hospital during the First World War. Christie was born into a wealthy upper-middle-class family in Torquay, Devon. She is known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those revolving around her fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. While the language and some of the plot details appear quite dated now, the actual mystery still stands up to scrutiny, always bearing in mind that like most Christie novels there is more than a touch of contrivance about it – but as a brain teaser that whiles away the time it is an engaging and fun read.I have to admit that the revelation of the murderer took me by surprise, Christie executing here a rare double bluff, which had not occurred to me.Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan was an English writer. Written in 1930, some well-known Christie staples are already in evidence, such as maps of the house and neighbourhood, the future of a couple in love being threatened by events, and plenty of red herrings. Luckily Miss Marple is at hand with her valuable insights into human nature to help with the investigations.This is the first novel-length story featuring the amateur detective Miss Marple. So when the colonel unexpectedly turns up dead at the vicarage the following day, there is no shortage of suspects – until they're eliminated from the police's enquiries. Colonel Protheroe is not a popular man in St Mary Mead – even the vicar mentions casually during lunch that the world would be better off without him.
