El asesinato del coronel Protheroe conmociona el pueblo de St. Mary Mead, donde el principal entretenimiento consiste en tomar el té y chismorrear. Entre los vecinos de St. Mary Mead, la persona más entrometida, observadora y sagaz es miss Marple. Su intervención será decisiva en la resolución de un crimen para el que no faltan sospechosos.

Muerte en la vicaría, publicado en el año 1930, supuso la primera aparición de uno de los personajes más importantes dentro de la obra de Agatha Christie, la solterona y perspicaz Miss Marple, cuyos casos han sido adaptados en varias ocasiones tanto al cine como en forma de serie de televisión.

Review of 'Murder at the Vicarage (Agatha Christie Mysteries Collection)' on 'Goodreads'

I am a great fan of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series though some might find them a bit on the slow side. I enjoy Miss Marple's musings and the quaintness of the English village life.

I think I've read all the Miss Marple books and I think this is the only book that is from a first person point of view that isn't Miss Marple's, but that of the village vicar who finds the dead body in his library.

Of course, the village has all kinds of secrets and those come out as the murderer is tracked down.

If a slow, rich, character study of an English village of yore, this is a good you'll enjoy. All other should stay away.

A solid 5 stars.
