Miss Marple Short Story

Agatha Christie - the Queen of Crime and the world's best selling author - created dozens of detective novels and over a hundred short stories in her long and storied career, but few of her characters are as beloved and admired as the mild-mannered but incisively brilliant amateur sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. First introduced in 1927 in the short story "The Tuesday Night Club" (the first chapter of this volume), Miss Marple would become a favorite with readers and would appear in a dozen novels and over twenty short stories. In each chapter of this collection, Miss Marple attends a regular meeting of her closest friends in the village of St. Mary Mead, where the assembled guests are presented with a new mystery to unravel each week. Unsurprisingly, it is the keen-eyed and insightful Miss Marple who somehow manages to reveal the truth behind these enigmatic puzzles. "The Miss Marple Short Story Collection, Volume I" contains the first ten Miss Marple stories, each of them published between 1927 and 1930. They are presented here in their original and unabridged format and have been narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols.
