A wealthy family
A fatal cup of tea

Then she too is found dead.

Strange clues have Scotland Yard’s finest minds scratching their heads. Poisoned marmalade. Dead blackbirds. A victim found with a pocketful of rye.

It’s up to Jane Marple to put the pieces of this strange puzzle together…

Never underestimate Miss Marple.
