Hello fellow bookworms!
Imagine a murder being announced in the newspaper! That would be something, wouldn't it? But who would advertise a murder? After all, a murderer would want everything to go smoothly...right?
In the small village of Chipping Cleghorn, everyone receives the 'North Benham News and Chipping Cleghorn Gazette,' popularly known as the Gazette. After all, that's the best place to find out what's going on in the area. But what's going on in the area may not be completely legal...
The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn are wide-eyed with curiosity when one day an announcement of a murder appears in the Personal Column of the Gazette. The murder is scheduled to occur at Little Paddocks, the house owned by Letitia Blacklock, at 6:30 pm that very day! At first, everyone, including the residents of Little Paddocks, thinks that this is just a joke.
But at precisely 6:30 pm at Little Paddocks, the light goes out and three shots are fired. Two of them are directed at Letitia Blacklock and one is towards the murderer himself...
Who is the murderer and what was his or her motive? What is so special about Letitia Blacklock? And why was that puzzling advertisement placed in the newspaper?
This mystery is a Miss Marple mystery, and I think that it is one of the best Agatha Christie books I have read till date. Miss Marple truly is a great detective!
Agatha Christie is a British crime writer. She has written The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, And Then There Were None, The ABC Murders, etc.
Her other Miss Marple mysteries are The Murder at the Vicarage, 4.50 from Paddington, Nemesis, Sleeping Murder, and many more.
I recommend this book to ages 12 and above as the plot can be slightly complicated.
