A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The deserved rest of Colonel Bantry and his wife Dorothy is suddenly interrupted by the alarming news brought by the maid: they have found the corpse of a young woman in the library. Suddenly, the life of the retired soldier turns around, becoming a victim of the gossip and gossip that circulates about such a sad event that has shocked the entire puritanical community of St. Mary Mead. Dorothy, ready to address any doubts and keep the honor of her distinguished family unblemished, decides to go to her friend Miss Marple, an occasional detective with extraordinary intuitive skills that will determine who and why he has committed such murder precisely in the colonel's house.
