Four Miss Marple short stories taken from The Thirteen Problems. Sir Henry Clithering, ex-commissioner of Scotland Yard, is staying with his old friend Colonel and Mrs Bantry, who live near St Mary Mead. "When I was down here last year we got into the habit of discussing unsolved mysteries...We each supplied a story to which we knew the answer, but nobody else did. It was supposed to be an exercise in deductive faculties -- to see who could get nearest to the truth. We hardly realised that Miss Marple was playing; but we were very polite about it -- didn't want to hurt the old dear's feelings. And now comes the cream of the jest. The old lady outdid us everytime!" The Blue Geranium The Four Suspects The Companion A Christmas Tragedy And so it is decided to ask Miss Marple to dinner, and once again she proves that simply by observing human nature in the sleepy village of St Mary Mead, she is easily able to unravel the mysteries put forward by the other diners.

At the request of her employer, the emphatic Lady Atwell, she has had to recount the precise details of what happened that evening, ten days ago in the Tower room even though the victim’s nephew is incarcerated and charged with the murder. But, Lady Atwell’s persistent bee in her bonnet drives Poirot up to the great house, Mon Repos, to see if he can look beyond the cold facts presented by Miss Margrave and look for the humanity in the matter. Poirot soon takes up residence in Mon Repos, ensconcing himself in the household and all its nooks and crannies. However, whilst at first the family are struck by his ardent endeavour to find out what befell Sir Atwell in the Tower room, their disquiet at having a ‘ferreting little spy’ going through their rooms becomes too much for some to bare. With his signature ingenuity, a scrap of material and the contents of a tiny box lead the detective to uncover who is behind this violent act.
