reviewed on + 421 more book reviews


In "Murder at the Vicarage", we are introduced to the elderly, seemingly unworldly Miss Marple. In reality this mild mannered spinster has a mind like a steel trap and sees life through her knowledge of people and their foibles and idiosyncrasies who live in her small English village. Col.Protheroe , who is disliked by almost all who knew him, is found dead, shot thru the head. Many suspects...In typical Christie fashion, we are given all the clues to figure out the solution, but we usually don't.
