VOK 787 – Agatha Christie Reread 40 – A Murder Is Announced


In this minopod, Bina007 discusses the Miss Marple murder-mystery set in the village of Chipping Cleghorn. An advert is placed in a local newspaper announcing a murder that evening in the house of Miss Letitia Blacklock, much to her surprise! Read this novel for the sensitive depiction of lesbian romance, and the fascinating depiction of a disrupted post-war England, but not for the over complex plotting or indeed the problematic depiction of the refugee, Mitzi.

Spoiler-free to 25m; spoiler-filled thereafter.
