Miss Marple

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.

When everyone in a small town receives malicious letters detailing a future murder, it is Miss Marple who is called upon to help reveal the clues.

Miss Marple's instinct - that one murder will always follow another - proves to be true when more bodies are found in the sleepy town.

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.
