ISBN / GTIN-13 : 9780008196554
Synopsis
A Miss Marple novel.
Agatha Christie’s most ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers.
The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which reads: ‘A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 p.m.’
A childish practical joke? Or a hoax intended to scare poor Letitia Blacklock? Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the appointed time when, without warning, the lights go out . . .

External Reviews
"We all know that Agatha Christie is the Queen of murder mystery novels, but I was incredibly surprised by just how many intricate clues were weaved throughout this story. The beauty of these novels is how interactive they are - you can play along trying to guess the killer. They are perfect for ‘arm chair detectives’ and for analysing each detail. Everything means something, which demonstrates how clever Agatha Christie was. There are red herrings galore and plenty of clues to be able to identify the killer (not that I ever can!). The writing is clear, clever and witty, which makes it such a joy to read."
"The characters are fun, the story is original (and a bit tragic), and Miss Marple really shine here. A really good book to introduce yourself to Agatha Christie and/or to Miss Marple." - Amazon Reviews.
