The Murder At The Vicarage

Everyone in St. Mary Mead had a reason to want Colonel Protheroe dead. Now someone has obliged — and the whole village is under suspicion. Two people have already confessed, the evidence contradicts itself, and the police don't know where to turn.

Enter Miss Jane Marple. Underestimated by nearly everyone who meets her, the elderly spinster has a gift for reading people that no detective can match.

Nothing in the quaint English countryside is as innocent as it seems, and no one is more dangerous than a little old lady who notices everything.

This is the first book in the Miss Marple series as it was originally written in 1930.
