Agatha Christie's Masterpieces - Detective Fiction

In the novel "The Murder at the Vicarage", the hated Colonel Protheroe is found shot through the head in the parsonage study, leaving the quiet village of St. Mary Mead filled with suspects who all wished him dead. This historic book marks the very first full-length novel appearance of Miss Marple, who uses her sharp understanding of human nature and village gossip to untangle false confessions and catch the true killer.
