Here are six gripping cases with one thing in common: the astonishing deductive powers of Miss Marple.

When her friends from the Tuesday Night Club visit Miss Marple's house, the conversation often turns to unsolved crimes. Trying to solve these 13 mysteries are Raymond West, a young writer; the artist Joyce Lemprière; Dr Pender, the clergyman, who claims to know the hidden side of human character; Mr Petherick, a lawyer who is only interested in the logical approach; and Sir Henry Clithering, whose experience as commissioner of Scotland Yard speaks for itself.

Esta es una obra maestra de observación y simbolismo, en la que la delicada danza entre la libertad y la restricción se despliega a través de la vida de dos pájaros cautivos.
