The Murder at the Vicarage
by Agatha Christie
“In a village where everyone has something to hide, murder becomes everyone's business.”
When Colonel Protheroe is found shot dead in the vicar's study, the kindly Reverend Clement finds himself at the center of a baffling mystery. With half the village harboring motives and the sharp-witted Miss Marple observing from the sidelines, this first Miss Marple mystery weaves a web of secrets, lies, and unexpected revelations in the seemingly quiet parish of St. Mary Mead.
