She is at the height of her ability and the brilliant plot twists don’t sway her from the chase (and serve to keep even the most stoic reader on their toes). Marple’s ability to delve into the world of forgotten crimes displays her keen sleuthing skills.

In the second chapter Gwenda describes a cornflower and poppy wallpaper to her contractor, only to discover that’s the original pattern underlying the newer wall coverings. Sights, sounds, and colors come together to form a layered, but complete picture. The cornflower, with red poppies in the backgroundĪs with other Christie novels, descriptive elements play a large role.

Her mixture of kindness, wisdom, and toughness came from the mature women in Christie’s own life. Miss Jane Marple debuted to the public literary world in the late 1920s via the short story “The Thirteen Problems.” As her character developed over the following decades, Miss Marple evolved from gossip to shrewd detective, relied on by police departments throughout England.
