The first of three omnibus collections of Miss Jane Marple novels containing 4/12ths of those in the series. 1. The Body in the Library - the body of one young woman is found in the Bantry library and another in a deserted quarry nearby. 2. The Moving Finger - when hate mail attacks almost everyone in Lymstock, one recipient commits suicide. Or did she? 3. A Murder is Announced - the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette announces in the personal column the time and place of a murder. 4. 4.50 from Paddington - Mrs. McGillicuddy sees a man strangle a woman as trains cross, but only Jane believes her. She sends a housekeeper. Librarian's note: this entry is for the collection, "Miss Marple Omnibus Volume 1." Entries for each of the 12 novels and 20 stories in the Miss Marple series can be found elsewhere on Goodreads.
