The indomitable Jane Marple is at the top of her form in these three vintage Agatha Christies. In case you haven't met her before, Miss Marple is one of the most delightful sleuths in the business--a pink-cheeked, somewhat befuddled spinster whose benign appearance is thoroughly deceptive.
A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED. By a stroke of luck, Miss Marple is in the neighborhood of Chipping Cleghorn when, along with notices of puppies for sale and servants wanted, a murder is announced in the local paper. What sounds at first like a practical joke takes on frightening dimensions as first one murder, then two more, are actually committed.
THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY. When a blonde is found dead in Colonel Bantry's library, Mrs Bantry rushes to ring up her good friend Jane Marple. Although local tongues start wagging, much to the chagrin of the pompous old colonel, Miss Marple isn't fooled for a moment. Something about the body doesn't look right--and gives her a clue to the real killer.
MURDER WITH MIRRORS. Miss Marple pays a call on an old school chum whose home now houses a school for delinquent boys as well as assorted relatives, friends and retainers all of whom have something to gain by murder.
