Recurring Characters: Miss Jane Marple

Synopsis

Dr Rosen, instrumental in the downfall of a secret German organisation, is convinced the members of the organisation will seek revenge. When he is found dead, his fears would seem to be confirmed. Four members of his household claim to have heard nothing; none of them have an alibi. Could the Secret organisation be at the root of this or do the answers lie closer to home?

Christie was fond of tackling espionage as a theme, sometimes, as in this story and The Secret Adversary, very successfully and at other times, such as Passenger to Frankfurt less so. The Four Suspects forms one of The Thirteen Problems.
