内容简介 Book Description
Agatha Christie's most ingenious murder mystery, reissued with a striking new cover designed to appeal to the latest generation of Agatha Christie fans and book lovers. The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which reads: 'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 p.m.' A childish practical joke? or a hoax intended to scare poor Letitia Blacklock? Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the appointed time when, without warning, the lights go out!

From AudioFile
When an ad appears in the gazette announcing a murder to take place on Friday at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m., the locals show up, assuming it''s a murder mystery party, only to get shot at and then become witnesses to the real murder of a boy no one knows. Rosemary Leach is a perfect match for this book. She has a beautiful, sweet voice perfectly suited to do justice to the overly civilized denizens of Christie''s English countryside. With perfect timing and impeccable delivery, she conjures up the villagers and makes them live and breathe. Fortunately, before too many of them get bumped off, Miss Marple arrives and unravels this tangled skein. Most satisfying all the way around.
