MURDER, SHE SAID: The Quotable Miss Marple

Did you know that one of the world's sharpest and most forensic minds inhabited the persona of an attractive old lady, with pink cheeks and blue eyes, and a gentle, rather fussy manner? Discover the secrets of Miss Marple in this gorgeous book of her quotes and sayings, and an essay by Agatha Christie appearing for the first time in any book. "Everyone in St Mary Mead knew Miss Marple: fluffy and dithery in appearance, but inwardly as sharp and as shrewd as they make them." 4:50 From Paddington. A beautifully designed collection of charming quotations that showcase the wit and wisdom of Agatha Christie's widely adored Miss Marple, the razor-sharp mind of the world's favourite armchair sleuth is brilliantly revealed in this anthology of Miss Marple insights and bon mots, curated from Agatha Christie's classic novels featuring the delightful amateur detective. Organised by themes like The Art of Conversation and Men and women. "Really, I have no gifts - except perhaps a certain knowledge of human nature." "This is a wicked murderer, Inspector - and the wicked should not go unpunished."
