<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published: London: Collins, 1930.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a dead body in a clergyman's study proves to the indomitable sleuth that no place, holy or otherwise, is a sanctuary from homicide.</strong></p><p>Miss Marple encounters a compelling murder mystery in the sleepy little village of St. Mary Mead, where under the seemingly peaceful exterior of an English country village lurks intrigue, guilt, deception and death.</p><p>Colonel Protheroe, local magistrate and overbearing land-owner is the most detested man in the village. Everyone--even in the vicar--wishes he were dead. And very soon he is--shot in the head in the vicar's own study. Faced with a surfeit of suspects, only the inscrutable Miss Marple can unravel the tangled web of clues that will lead to the unmasking of the killer.</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><em>The first Miss Marple mystery, one which tests all her powers of observation and deduction.</em></p><p>"Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe,"declared the parson, brandishing a carving knife above a joint of roast beef, "would be doing the world at large a favor!"</p><p>It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later--when the Colonel is found shot dead in the clergyman's study. But as Miss Marple soon discovers, the whole village seems to have had a motive to kill Colonel Protheroe.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>The Murder at the Vicarage </em>was my gateway drug into crime fiction at the age of nine and I've never regretted the addiction!--<strong>Val McDermid</strong>, award-winning author of the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series<br><br>"Agatha Christie taught me two things: that plotting mysteries was an art, and that a woman detective could be as strong a character as a male detective."--Charles Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the Ian Rutledge mysteries and Bess Crawford mysteries<br><br>"When she really hits her stride, as she does here, Agatha Christie is hard to surpass."--Saturday Review of Literature<br>
