Book description
A message from a dead acquaintance prompts a bus tour to an unknown crime…
In utter disbelief Miss Marple read the letter addressed to her from
the recently deceased Mr Rafiel - an acquaintance she had met briefly on
her travels.
Recognising in Miss Marple a natural flair for justice, Mr Rafiel had
left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The
only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where
and when the crime had been committed. It was most intriguing. 'The
old charm is still there and a good deal of the old magic in plotting,
too.' Best Sellers
'Miss Marple was an old lady now, knowing that a scent for evil was
still, in the evening of her days, her peculiar gift.' Times Literary

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
