A Murder is Announced in a small-town newspaper advertisement—and Miss Marple must unravel the fiendish puzzle when a crime does indeed occur.
The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn are agog with curiosity when the Gazette advertises “A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30 p.m.”
A childish practical joke? Or a spiteful hoax? Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, the locals arrive at Little Paddocks at the appointed time when, without warning, the lights go out and a gun is fired. When they come back on, a gruesome scene is revealed. An impossible crime? Only Miss Marple can unravel it.

If you could sum up A Murder Is Announced in three words, what would they be?
Incredibly camouflaged evil.What did you like best about this story?
All the hidden intricacies of English village life, amusingly written and discovering new depths to my own naiveté'... Astounding narration. I simply could not believe the level of detail and style changes done by this one person's voice.What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Simply the best narrator I have ever had the privilege to hear. Ms. Fox brought each character to life in such a minutely nuanced performance, that I could hardly believe it was the same person speaking. She was hilarious too, with the foreign accent of the housekeeper as well as giving the essence of her hysterical outbursts and rants without making the listener want to skip forward. I specifically sought a book narrated by this person for my next purchase.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me long for more Miss Marple, although I should be listening to more books relevant to my work! Ugh! :-(Any additional comments?
Okay. If Mrs. Christie has committed any crimes, they will never be found out by human means, or even artificial intelligence."Don't. Have. Money." Incredible narration.
