The ordered tranquility of life in St Mary Mead is shattered by a mysterious discovery. Miss Marple's investigations lead her to a seaside hotel where some rather unusual people are staying.
While the investigation centres on the Jefferson family and their entourage, Miss Marple's hunch about a second killing proves all too tragically justified.
In the small, typically English village of St Mary Mead, the Bantrys of Gossington Hall are horrified to discover a female corpse in their library. Mrs Bantry immediately seeks help in solving the mystery from her friend and neighbour, Miss Marple, who follows clues which lead her to a seaside hotel and a second body.
Gerry Burton receives a poison-pen letter.
Gerry Burton and his sister Joanna arrive in the village of Lymston in East Anglia for him to convalesce, but the villagers' warm welcome is not all that it seems.
In the late 1940s, in the small village of Chipping Cleghorn, an announcement appears in the local paper outlining the details of a future murder. When Miss Marple pays a visit to the village, she instinctively disagrees with the villagers that it is all just a bit of harmless fun.
