Synopsis

Luke Fitzwilliam could not believe Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation. She claimed that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood and speculated that the local doctor was next in line. But within hours, Miss Pinkerton is killed in a hit-and-run accident. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so until he read in The Times of the unexpected demise of Dr Humbleby!

First published in 1939, the novel contains an appearance by Superintendent Battle although the solving of the mystery is really due to Luke Fitzwilliam. It was filmed for TV in 1982 with Bill Bixby and Lesley Ann Down and again in 2009 with the addition of Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple.

What fans say

: Lone_Wolf
"One of my favourite AC books. I found the countryside athmosphere reminding me of miss Marple, but with more darkness and dynamics then in your typical Marple story. "
