Quick recap
Thirteen short stories, almost all built the same way: a group gets together, each person tells a crime only they know the answer to, and the rest try to guess. First comes the Tuesday Night Club, at Miss Marple's house: her novelist nephew Raymond West, the painter Joyce, former Scotland Yard chief Sir Henry Clithering, a lawyer and a clergyman. She gets every case right by comparing the culprits to people from the village. Later, the game moves to the Bantrys' house. The last story is a real case in St. Mary Mead: a young woman drowns, Miss Marple writes the killer's name on a slip of paper, and Sir Henry proves she was right.
