By Agatha Christie & Kevin Theis

Publisher Description

Agatha Christie - the Queen of Crime and the world's best selling author - created dozens of detective novels and over a hundred short stories in her long and storied career, but few of her characters are as beloved and admired as the mild-mannered but incisively brilliant amateur sleuth, Miss Jane Marple.

First introduced in 1927 in the short story "The Tuesday Night Club" (the first chapter of this volume), Miss Marple would become a favorite with readers and would appear in a dozen novels and over twenty short stories. In each chapter of this collection, Miss Marple attends a regular meeting of her closest friends in the village of St. Mary Mead, where the assembled guests are presented with a new mystery to unravel each week. Unsurprisingly, it is the keen-eyed and insightful Miss Marple who somehow manages to reveal the truth behind these enigmatic puzzles.

"The Miss Marple Short Story Collection, Volume I" contains the first ten Miss Marple stories, each of them published between 1927 and 1930. They are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

About Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie is perhaps the world's best-known writer of mysteries and detective fiction. The author of sixty-six novels and fourteen collections of short stories, Christie is the best-selling author in literary history and sales of her books are said to number more than two billion. In addition, her play "The Mousetrap" is the world's longest running show, having run on the West End of London since 1952. She is universally acknowledged to be the "Queen of Crime," a title trademarked by her estate. Christie began submitting her mystery stories to publishers in the 1910's, but they were all rejected until, in 1920, she created her first Hercule Poirot novel, "The Mysterious Affair at Styles." She would go on to write thirty-eight novels and stories featuring Poirot, the stuffy but brilliant Belgian detective, including "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile." In the late 20's, Christie created Miss Jane Marple, a mild-mannered but brilliantly incisive old woman who lives in a tiny British village and helps the police to unravel a number of baffling mysteries. Miss Marple would appear in a dozen novels and twenty short stories. Agatha Christie often worked at a furious pace, sometimes churning out two or more novels a year. Her book "And Then There Were None" is one of the world's best-selling novels, having sold over a hundred million copies. Her books have been adapted into countless movies, television shows and stage plays and have cemented Christie as the premiere mystery writer of all time.
