Stepping beyond St. Mary Mead, Marple investigates mysteries rooted in family betrayal and legacy. A genteel London hotel masks corruption and murder, an old conviction is challenged when a stranger clears a black sheep’s name, and a seaside party spirals into a double killing. In her most personal case yet, she fulfills a dead man’s request to expose a crime hidden under a single word: Nemesis.

The past collides with the present as Marple helps a young bride haunted by the memory of an old crime, unravels the poison-pen letters tearing a village apart, and steps in when a cryptic message at a nursing home points to long-buried secrets. Even a snowbound Dartmoor séance becomes a stage for her to unmask a killer hiding behind superstition.

Miss Marple’s first televised cases plunge her into village intrigue and stately-home scandals. From a body discovered in a country-house library to a murder witnessed from a passing train and a staged “murder game” that turns deadly, she proves that her sharp eyes and quiet wisdom can pierce through small-town gossip and high-society deception alike.
