The truth about Miss Marple

Is it possible that Miss Marple was actually a serial killer, and that she always framed someone for the murder she committed? It can hardly be a coincidence that she was always in the neighborhood, and why else did she always interfere with the police investigation?

She couldn't have poisoned Heather Babcock on account of her ankle anyway! Nor could she have poisoned Rex's marmalade!

Miss Jane Marple?! a serial killer?!

possible, but there is no evidence.

when AC wrote books about Miss Marple obvious there is have to be a murder.

but, we don't know what happen between that time.

she could wait years after A Murder Is Announced until the events of They Do It With Mirrors will take place.

she could went to visit 1000 friends she has before someone will killed.

and also, if she's realy the murderer in They Do It With Mirrors (for example) why did the murderer didn't say that she/he is innocent?

I have long suspected Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote to be a serial criminal. Eveywhere she goes someone is murdered. I am also very suspicious of Inspector Barnaby's wife Joyce in Midsomer Murders and confidently predict that in Barnaby's last episode before his cousin takes over he will reveal that he devoted his entire career to framing innocent people to cover up Joyce's serial killing. Or it could be Cully.

Miss Marple is totally innocent but I have my doubts about Raymond her nephew.

Yeah, it's the problem with most serial detectives, especially with those who aren't professional consulting detectives. Beware of these Little Old Lady Investigates types!
