First edition of this classic Miss Marple murder mystery novel. Octavo, original publisher’s cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. From the collection of Dr. John Talbot Gernon. A sharp example, much nicer than usually encountered.
A Murder Is Announced (1950) is an Agatha Christie novel in which a newspaper notice advertising a murder in a quiet English village will occur at a specific time and place, which draws curious villagers to a house where the lights are suddenly extinguished and a man is shot. When the supposed victim turns out to be an impostor and another resident is later found dead, Miss Marple uncovers a complex plot involving mistaken identity, concealed relationships, and calculated manipulation rooted in postwar dislocation.
