A Murder Is Announced by Agatha Christie
4.0
In The Gazette, a murder is announced for Fri 10/29 at 6:30 PM at Little Paddocks, the home of Leticia Blacklock. Letty expects neighbors to show for the spectacle. At the appointed time, a murder does in fact take place. Letty is injured, leading everyone to deduce that she is the target. Her good friend, Dora Bunner, recognizes the victim, claiming he tried to get money from Letty.
After Craddock is brought in to investigate, he wishes for help from Miss Marple. Marple does get involved and after hearing more about all the people in the house (incl. Mitzi, Phillipa, Patrick, and Julia), she uncovers info about an inheritance that Letty will receive in the next few months. This proves to be a motive for murder.
Entertaining. I did guess part of it, but not all of it. I liked the ending.
