Risultati per "miss marple" in Thriller e suspense

In una stradina tranquilla e silenziosa nei pressi di Hyde Park, sorge il Bertram Hotel, un elegante albergo edoardiano. Qui approda anche Miss Marple, la quale intuisce che dietro quell'atmosfera rarefatta si cela un certo che di strano. Qualcuno che non dovrebbe essere lì, un brano di conversazione ascoltato per caso, un'espressione colta al volo su un viso... basta poco per insospettire Miss Marple.

Miss Marple viene presentata per la prima volta ai lettori in un racconto che Agatha Christie scrisse per "The Royal Magazine" nel 1927 e fece la sua prima apparizione in un romanzo completo in "La morte nel villaggio" del 1930. Sono passati quasi cinquant'anni da quando "Addio, Miss Marple" è stato pubblicato postumo nel 1976 e, per la prima volta, l'amato personaggio di Agatha Christie torna sulla pagina grazie alla penna di dodici autrici bestseller appassionate del genere, che immaginano e raccontano l'inarrestabile detective attraverso il proprio punto di vista.

Many others in the village have said that they would like to see the colonel dead, but a number of people have a more specific interest in his death: the colonel’s young wife, Anne; her lover, the artist Lawrence Redding; Archer, a local man given a harsh sentence by the colonel for poaching. Even the colonel’s daughter, Lettice, desperate for money, says, “If only father would be decent and die, I’d be all right.” These complexities lead to any number of dead ends for investigators. The only one able to see through the blinds and obscurities is Miss Marple, an elderly but sharp-eyed spinster.
