About the book
Agatha Christie's Miss Marple novel begins when Jane Marple hears from her American school friend Ruth Van Rydock that Ruth's sister, Carrie Louise Serrocold, is in danger of some kind. Miss Marple travels to Stonygates, Carrie Louise's aging Victorian mansion, where her husband Lewis runs a rehabilitation centre for delinquent boys in a neighbouring building. Several relatives are staying, along with a housekeeper and a troubled young secretary. When an unexpected visitor arrives to discuss a worrying problem with Lewis, Miss Marple finds herself drawn into a household full of tensions.
