Quick recap

Four very different cases. In The Pale Horse, Father Gorman is killed after receiving a list of surnames, and Marple gets the same list along with a Bible quote. The trail leads to the Pale Horse inn. In The Secret of Chimneys, an Austrian count wants to buy the Chimneys estate and is murdered, and another death follows before Marple cracks it. In The Blue Geranium, two deaths in Little Ambrose end with George Pritchard's confession, which Marple doesn't buy. In The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, a fan dies from a poisoned daiquiri at a party at Gossington Hall, and Marple suspects someone else was the target.
