The Murder at the Vicarage

I love the Miss Marple series of books. I love the idea of a gentle, old lady knitting away silently, not missing a single trick. She is sharper than most of the professional detectives and police forces combined, thanks to her skill of observing people and learning from life. Maybe it is because I'm quite the opposite, that she intrigues me so. Great story, great characters and a great mystery.
