When what seems like a prank ends in murder at an evening soiree, everybody's favourite sleuthing pensioner begins one of her most preplexing investigations in this classic Marple mystery from the Queen of Crime.
An ordinary village. A shocking announcement.
One morning the villagers of Chipping Cleghorn wake to find a strange notice in their papers:
'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddock at 6.30pm.'
Suspecting this is just a joke, they gather for some evening entertainment. Then a gunshot is heard.
In desperation, the police turn to an old lady whose hobbies are gardening, gossiping - and solving murders. After all, old ladies know better than anyone exactly what goes on in quiet English villages...
