A quiet English village A shocking murder An unlikely detective… Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe. So when he’s found dead in the vicarage study, there’s no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead. In fact, Jane Marple can think of at least seven. As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish, everyone becomes an amateur detective. The police dismiss her as a prying busybody, but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth …
In this 1930 collection of twelve short stories, Mr. Satterthwaite-a quiet observer of society-keeps stumbling into puzzles that refuse to stay buried. At the turning point of each case, a stranger named Harley Quin appears, asks a few simple questions, and then slips away. Old tragedies, hidden motives, and half-forgotten clues rise to the surface in country houses, winter parties, and seaside resorts. Part mystery, part uncanny tale, these stories show Christie in a more dreamlike, experimental mood. Some mysteries end in justice; others end in uneasy truth.

Maailman tunnetuin salapoliisi astuu näyttämölle! Agatha Christien satavuotias, ikinuori esikoisteos esittelee Hercule Poirotin ja kapteeni Hastingsin. Rintamalla haavoittunut kapteeni Hastings on toipumassa ystävänsä kotona Stylesin kartanossa vuonna 1917. On taivaallisen rauhaisaa... kunnes talon emäntä, rikas rouva Inglethorpe löytyy myrkytettynä. Paras murhaajaehdokas on rouvan nuori, kiero aviomies - mutta tarkemmin ajatellen talosta löytyy muitakin mahdollisia epäiltyjä. Pelko jäytää talon väkeä, mutta Hastings tietää ratkaisun: kutsutaan apuun hänen belgialainen tuttavansa Hercule Poirot! Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976) julkaisi ensimmäisen dekkarinsa Stylesin tapaus ensin jatkokertomuksena lehdessä 1920 ja kirjana 1921. Loppu on historiaa. Tarkistetussa suomennoksessa on mukana Agatha Christien kirjailijantien alkua valaiseva esipuhe.
