| | Miss Marple novels |
| | A murder does in fact occur, although not the one expected and Miss Marple, who is staying in a nearby spa for her rheumatism, seems to know something about the murdered man. Her friendship with Sir Henry Clithering allows her access to the case. | | | Christie has become more careless in her old age, but the book is still a good read. | | | Elvira Blake is one of Christie's more interesting modern young people, and the police are led by Chief Inspector Davy, assisted by the mysterious Mr Robinson (of Cat Among the Pigeons). |

| | Review of Murder at the Vicarage (Miss Marple Mysteries (Paperback)) Reviews. Compare Consumer Reviews of Mass Market ... |
| | As told in the point of view of the vicar himself, The Murder at the Vicarage is an interesting whodunnit whereupon the reader is kept in the dark and enlightened only to be misled again. | | | Yet, focusing on them through a leisurely read of this convoluted tale, and relishing the discoveries made by that viewpoint adjustment might enrich an awareness of how Christie so (seemingly) easily executes mysteries echoing mysteries, mirrors reflecting mirrors, and might begin to expose why she frequently focused mirrors in titles and plots. | | | What's uncanny is how easy it is in 2005 to understand the issues underlying Christie's views, formed at the outset of the previous century, on the mysteries of death, immortality, immorality, and murder. |

| | Miss Marple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sleeping Murder was published in 1976, shortly after Christie's death, and was the last of her novels to be published, although, again, it was written in 1940. | | | Miss Marple is able to solve difficult crimes not only because of her shrewd intelligence, but because St. Mary Mead, over her lifetime, has put on a pageant of human depravity rivaled only by that of Sodom and Gomorrah. | | | The first Marple novel, The Murder at the Vicarage sees a markedly different Marple to the one who would appear in later books, as she modernized and became nicer over the years. |

| | MGM's 1962 comedy thriller of Murder, She Said was loosely based on the book 4.50 From Paddington and was popular with the audience but not with Christie. | | | The first four books to be adapted are The Body in the Library, The Murder at the Vicarage, 4.50 From Paddington and A Murder is Announced. | | | With the blessing of the author's estate, the producers have even changed the identity of the murderer in one of her best-known mysteries and introduced a lesbian theme that may alarm Christie traditionalists. |
