The Thirteen Problems.
London: BCA by arrangement with HarperCollinsPublishers, 2006. [Crime Mysteries] FACSIMILE EDITION, second impression thus. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.250 [6]. Publisher's black cloth with gilt titles to spine. With the green dust-jacket, not priced. A little toned to edges, otherwise a clean, fine copy. Miss Marple returns for a second outing in this collection of thirteen short mysteries, set around a sequence of social gatherings which include among the party the elderly detective, her nephew Raymond West, and soon-to-be-regular Marple sidekick Sir Henry Clithering. Though published after Murder at the Vicarage, the stories in this collection predate the story of the murder of Colonel Lucius Protheroe, and show the first stirrings of Miss Marples' genius - her constant comparisons between something that recently happened in the village and the case at hand begin to fade as her inestimable career continues.
