Time-tested mystery writer Agatha Christie presents her classic 1930 novel, Murder at the Vicarage. Here, Miss Marple must solve the murder of Colonel Protheroe, the stuffy magistrate with a long list of enemies.

Miss Marple is on the trail of a killer with something to hide.

A gripping, classic detective story

Shockingly, I've never actually read Agatha Christie before despite her fame, but I am very glad I did in the end.

This is a classic cosy crime book, starting off in a sleepy little English village with not much going on, and then the usual suspects, motives, and red herrings.

The story is always constantly presenting information to you, and keeps you guessing until the very end. It dots the Is and crosses the Ts quite well at the end with a satisfying conclusion.

All-in-all, I most certainly plan to read the rest of the Miss Marple series if they're as good at this one.
