A Murder is Announced

One morning the villagers of Chipping Cleghorn wake to find a strange notice in their papers:

'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm.'

Suspecting this is just a joke, they gather for some evening entertainment.

Then a gunshot is heard.

In desperation, the police turn to an old lady whose hobbies are gardening, gossiping - and solving murders.

After all, old ladies know better than anyone <em>exactly</em> what goes on in quiet English villages...

<strong>'Establishes firmly her claim to the throne of detection. The plot is as ingenious as ever... the dialogue both wise and witty; while the suspense is maintained very skilfully until the final revelation.'</strong>
