What to expect
Juliet Stevenson reads Agatha Christie’s The Thirteen Problems, the series of linked short stories that introduced readers to the Tuesday Night Club and to the woman who would become the world’s most popular female detective, Miss Jane Marple.
A weekly dinner party
Ten amateur sleuths
The Tuesday Night Club murders
On a quiet Tuesday in St Mary Mead, a group of friends gather for dinner.
A policeman, a clergyman, a solicitor, an author, an artist, and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze – Miss Jane Marple. Conversation naturally turns to crime.
Each recounts a seemingly unsolvable mystery. Each thinks they know the answer.
But it’s the one they least expect who understands the true nature of each wicked act…
Never underestimate Miss Marple
‘Billions of readers can’t be wrong.’
Dreda Say Mitchell
‘The plots are so good that one marvels . . . most of them would have made a full-length thriller.’
Daily Mirror
