She wrote eighty crime novels and story collections, fourteen plays, and several other books. Her books have sold roughly four billion copies and have been translated into 45 languages. She is the creator of two of the most enduring figures in crime literature-Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple-and author of The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in the history of modern theatre. The Case of the Caretaker- Miss Marple is bed-ridden and her doctor gives her a written testimony about a series of events and leaves her to solve the mystery of what occurred in a large estate between a young husband, his wife, and the former staff. In 1970, the character of Miss Marple was portrayed by Inge Langen [ de] in a West German television adaptation of The Murder at the Vicarage ( Mord im Pfarrhaus).

The collection includes 6 Miss Marple stories and two non-Marple stories. The six Marple stories were light and charming, like a pleasant summer evening, and I really enjoyed them. 'The Dressmaker's Doll' is a creepy tale, and 'In a Glass Darkly' was an interesting tale of psychic phenomena. Robert Barnard: "Posthumous collection, containing several good and good-ish Marple cases previously only available in the States. Also two supernatural stories, which Christie did not have the stylistic resources to bring off successfully." Miss Marple solves difficult crimes thanks to her shrewd intelligence, and St. Mary Mead, over her lifetime, has given her seemingly infinite examples of the negative side of human nature. Crimes always remind her of a previous incident, although acquaintances may be bored by analogies that often lead her to a deeper realisation about the true nature of a crime. She also has a remarkable ability to latch onto a casual comment and connect it to the case at hand. In several stories, she is able to rely on her acquaintance with Sir Henry Clithering, a retired commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, for official information when required.Ova pripovetka ima skoro identični zaplet kao roman Beskrajna noć,samo pročišćen i bez predugog uvoda. U ovakvoj formi radnja je mnogo brža i zanimljivija. I nemojte misliti da je priča ista. Agata uspeva da napravi više varijacija na temu,a da se ne ponavlja.

And then there is the story Strange Jest, that reintroduces us to the actress Jane Helier. Jane introduces Miss Marple to a couple, who have a mystery and once again, we're in to the pace, flavor and usual fair that so many of us enjoy from Christie and Miss Marple. A young man has a vision of a beautiful woman being strangled in the room next to his while at a house party.The Dressmaker's Doll - Creepy tale of a doll who seems alive, and moves around the rooms, apparently on her own steam, freaking out the workers in the dressmaker's establishment. The November air was mild and damp. Clouds scudded across the sky with patches of blue here and there. Inside, the church was dark and cold; it was unheated except at service times. Christie is popularly believed to have taken the name from Marple railway station, through which she passed, [9] [10] though a letter she wrote to a fan appears to prove that the name was inspired by a visit to a sale at Marple Hall in the same town, [11] near her sister Margaret Watts' home at Abney Hall.

The youngest of three children of the Miller family. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.Upravo te priče su najzanimljivije,jer imaju taj misteriozni spooky vibe.
