Risultati per "miss marple" in Narrativa di genere

A St Mary Mead, un tranquillo villaggio nella campagna inglese, la vita scorre monotona, senza che accada mai nulla di nuovo. O almeno così pensano tutti. Tranne miss Marple, persuasa che il male possa nascondersi ovunque. E infatti, quasi a dimostrare la teoria della simpatica ed estrosa anziana signora, proprio nella canonica davanti alla sua villetta vittoriana viene commesso un feroce delitto.

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.
