Synopsis
A Murder is Announced
Agatha Christie adapt Leslie Darbon
Published by Samuel French Ltd
Large Mixed Cast
The announcement in the local paper states time and place of a murder that is yet to occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house
The victim-to-be is not one of several occupants, temporary and permanent, but an unexpected and unknown visitor
What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, and a determined Inspector grimly following the twists and turns
And, of course, Miss Marple - who provides the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation scene just before the final curtain!
