One of Christie’s best-known books and the first time available for the U.S. retail market.
Cheap satin and peroxide blondes were a rare sight in St. Mary Mead, at least before film-man Basil Blake bought a cottage and invited down the London crowd. Then a girl in a garish get-up is found strangled in Colonel Bantry’s library, and it appears Basil is involved - or did the colonel also prefer blondes? While titillating rumors swirl in the village, Miss Marple uses keen instinct and observation to find the killer.
