Description

The very first Miss Marple mystery, the one that tests-all her powers of observation and deduction. “Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe,” announced the parson, brandishing a carving knife above a joint of roast-beef, “would be doing the planet most importantly a benefit!” It had been a reckless comment for a guy of the material. And the one that was to return and bother the clergyman just a couple hours later—when the Colonel is located shot dead inside the clergyman’s research. But as Miss Marple quickly finds, the entire town seemingly have had a reason to kill Colonel Protheroe.
