  <default_description>You are cordially invited to a murder. A personal ad in the newspaper inviting strangers to participate in an evening of murder mystery fun and games at the home of Letitia Blacklock is an invitation that Miss Jane Marple cannot pass up. A good thing, too, because when the lights are dimmed real gunshots ring out, killing a young boy. Now it&amp;#8217;s time for a new, much more serious game of &amp;#8220;whodunit.&amp;#8221;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely Marple mystery. There are so many undercurrents with the supporting characters in the text that it really requires a second or third read.

    <body><![CDATA[Agatha Christie does it as usual. A wonderful mystery about attempted murder after a man puts an announcement in the paper that a murder is going to be committed that night. Miss Marple helps to point to the right direction of the real murderer.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Just re-read my first Agatha Christie in years and years.  Margaret is reading a &quot;Miss Marple&quot; for her Destination Imagination team.  I read every single book of hers when I was younger, and she has stood the test of time.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an excellent Miss Marple! Lots of quirky characters and a very twisted story that unravelled like so much wool as Miss Marple worked at its edges. And once again a murderer that I didn't figure out until nearly the very end. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just finished preforming in a production of &quot;A Murder is Announced&quot;, and after reading the first chapter of the source material I can see why Dame Agatha felt the need to write her own plays!  Makes a much better novel than the play.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Installment No. 2 in the Month of Christie. Miss Marple grew on me in this one; parts of it were really funny, and the ending was absolutely top-notch. I love her technique of gathering all the characters together in one room for the big reveal.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm finding I really love the Miss Marple books, more so than Poirot. I find Captain Hastings somewhat irritating. Why is it the sidekick has to be somewhat dense and condescended to?]]></body>
