Chronicle As Books Murder at the Vicarage (Miss Marple #1)
Murder at the Vicarage marks the debut of Agatha Christie’s unflappable and much beloved female detective, Miss Jane Marple. With her gift for sniffing out the malevolent side of human nature, Miss Marple is led on her first case to a crime scene at the local vicarage. Colonel Protheroe, the magistrate whom everyone in town hates, has been shot through the head. No one heard the shot. There are no leads. Yet, everyone surrounding the vicarage seems to have a reason to want the Colonel dead. It is a race against the clock as Miss Marple sets out on the twisted trail of the mysterious killer without so much as a bit of help from the local police.Rating Regarding Books Murder at the Vicarage (Miss Marple #1)

Yet again Christie manages to craft a mystery so intricate its all you can do to keep up, never mind get ahead of her. 4 stars instead of 5 as it took me ages to get invested in these characters for whatever reason, and because I got tired of Clement remarking upon how clever Miss Marple is (we get it). But the resolution was fantastic and I thought the humor in this one in particular was great.Dame Agatha Christie is the queen of mystery writers who all modern aspirants strive to emulate. I enjoy reading her cases featuring detective Hercule Poirot because he knows the outcome well before the reader. Christie's cases are multilayered and keep unraveling until a book's conclusion. Enjoying these thought provoking cases, I decided to introduce myself to her other famous sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. There is no better place to start than Murder at the Vicarage, the book that introduced Miss
My dear young man, you underestimate the detective instinct of village life. In St. Mary Mead every one knows your most intimate affairs. There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.It's no mystery that I am no aficionado of Miss Marple's, but with Murder at the Vicarage, her very first adventure, I found myself gradually warming toward her in a way I didn't expect. This happened, I believe, because in this novel Miss Marple is no
There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands. The Murder at the Vicarage (1930, Collins Crime Club) is a Miss Marple classic by Agatha Christie. It's a standalone cozy mystery set in Miss Marple's hometown, the fictional village of St. Mary Mead in England. I enjoy reading the occasional cozy mystery, and nobody does it like Agatha Christie. I plan to eventually re-read them all. Incidentally, I also just recently finished reading
I thought this was a very well written book. It kept me in suspence. Agatha rarely disappoints.Enjoy and Be Blessed
Fiddledesticks! How could you not enjoy a book where the word fiddledesticks is used. I'm a fan of Agatha Christie. I read her a lot when I was much, much younger. But I don't remember most of the books I read. So every now and then I plan to pick up one of her books and indulge. And what a better place to start that the first in the Miss Marple series.Murder at the Vicarage tells the story of well, a murder in the vicarage. St Mary Mead is a sleep town where not much happens. However, the
Miss Marple's 1st book!But beyond that, this is really just a fabulous example of Agatha Christie at her best.This was my first time reading (actually listening) The Murder at the Vicarage and I was blown away by how enjoyable it was. Especially considering I've read a ton of her books and pretty much knew what to expect out of her mysteries.I knew I didn't know who did it, but I swear I thought I knew who didn't do it!I was (as always) dead wrong.So the gist is that the town Vicar gets caught
