The Tuesday Club Murders by Agatha Christie 212 pages
A group of British people sit around one evening: a recently retired Scotland Yard commissioner, a doctor, a writer, an artist, and a clergyman. An old lady‒Jane Marple‒sits with them, clicking her knitting needles, every so often stopping to recount her stitches. It is suggested that they gather each week and take turns relating a mystery about which they have personal knowledge, to see if the others can guess what happened. The 13 chapters in this book are the result. (Midway through the book, some of the characters change, but the tales continue to be told in this manner.)
During the course of telling their stories, Miss Marple periodically asks the speaker a question or makes a statement that doesn't seem quite relevant; she is often reminded of situations that have occurred in her little village of Mary Mead. But of course she always comes up with the correct answer.
A fun trip down Agatha lane!
