"Of all Christie´s detectives, it´s Jane Marple who best understood what can drive ordinary people to the extraordinary act of taking a life."--S. J. Rozan, Edgar Award-winning author
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 favorite 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.
"Really, I have no gifts--except perhaps a certain knowledge of human nature."
"Everybody in St Mary Mead knew Miss Marple: fluffy and dithery in appearance, but inwardly as sharp and as shrewd as they make them."
