Summary

The clue to a triple murder appears to be buried in a not-so-innocent children's verse. It's up to sleuth Miss Jane Marple to decipher the rhyme and reason behind the crime in what the New York Times has hailed as "the best of the novels starring Miss Marple."

Author Biography

Dame Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time. In a career that spanned more than fifty years, Christie wrote eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays-one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest-running play in history-and five nonfiction books, including her autobiography. In addition she wrote six romantic novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Two of the characters she created, the ingenious Belgian Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Jane Marple, became world-famous detectives, immortalized on television by David Suchet and Joan Hickson. Agatha Christie achieved Britain's highest honor when she was made a Dame of the British Empire. She died in 1976.
