I'm a fan of that great mystery writer Agatha Christie. One of my favorite characters in her cozy-mystery books is the little old English lady, Miss Marple. Now a publisher has published The Complete Miss Marple collection. What a feat!
The Complete Miss Marple – is a single volume of 12 novels, 20 short stories and 43 murders! Broken down that gives us 12 poisonings, 6 strangulations, 2 drownings, 2 stabbings, 1 burning, 1 death by an arrow and 2 people pushed to their deaths - all solved by a spinster from a small village in England. Rather remarkable by anyone’s standards. On top of this there are 68 crimes, 59 red herrings, 22 false accusations all of which are washed down by 143 cups of tea.
