Nothing ever happens in the peaceful village of St Mary Mead. So it seems almost incredible when Colonel Protheroe, the churchwarden, is discovered shot through the head in the vicarage study. Unfortunately for the murderer, there is someone in the village who knows everything, sees everything and hears everything - and she intends to work out who killed the Colonel. Her name is Miss Marple!
The Murder at the Vicarage was the book that introduced Miss Marple to the world. Loosely based on Agatha Christie's own grandmother, this charming but suspicious old lady was to become the world?s most famous amateur sleuth, and is brought to life in this graphic adaptation by the artist Norbert Morandière, known internationally as 'Norma'.
