Book description

First, the mystery man in the church with a bullet-wound… then, the
riddle of a dead man's buried treasure… the curious conduct oif a
caretaker after a fatal riding accident… the corpse and a tape-measure…

powers of Miss Marple.

a Glass Darkly'. 'When it all becomes clear as day, the reader can
only say, “Now why didn't I think of that?” But he never does. Miss
Christie at her best.' Springfield Republican Agatha Christie was born
in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist
in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written
towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot,
who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since
Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of
Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language
and another billion in over 100 foreign languages. She is the author of
80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels
under the name of Mary Westmacott
