AC - MURDER IS ANNOUNCED Paperback

Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced begins with a startling personal advertisement in the local newspaper of Chipping Cleghorn: "A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m." Initially taken as a prank, the announced event becomes horrifyingly real when, at the appointed time, the lights go out and a stranger is shot dead. As Miss Marple arrives to unravel the mystery, she finds a house full of suspects, each with their own secrets and potential motives, forcing her to delve into the complex relationships and hidden pasts of the residents of Little Paddocks to uncover the truth behind the bizarre announcement and the unexpected killing.
