The Murder at the Vicarage

The Murder at the Vicarage is the classic mystery that introduced Agatha Christie’s beloved detective, Miss Marple. Set in the quiet English village of St. Mary Mead, the novel begins with the sudden and shocking murder of Colonel Protheroe, a man widely disliked by nearly everyone in the village.

Charming, suspenseful, and brilliantly constructed, The Murder at the Vicarage remains one of Agatha Christie’s finest works and a timeless example of classic detective fiction.
