When Colonel Protheroe is found shot dead in the vicar's study, half of St. Mary Mead has a motive—and most of the alibis don't quite hold up. It falls to the vicar's elderly neighbor, a certain Miss Marple, to notice what the police overlook: that in a village this small, everyone's business is everyone else's business, and nothing stays hidden for long.
The book that introduced the world to Miss Marple.
A Fresh Copy Edition. First published 1930, now public domain in the United States — presented in its full, unabridged original text. 6x9" perfect-bound paperback.
