The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which read: 'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m.' Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the ppointed time when, without warning, the lights go out . . .
I immediately remembered who it was, so most of the story was not a surprise anymore, but it was still a joy to read it. A very typical Christie story—and no wonder it is this popular. Miss Marple at her best!
