Then, Protheroe is found murdered in the vicar's study. His daughter wishes he would do a good thing and die, and even the vicar observes that killing him would be a service to the townsfolk. Everyone, that is, except Colonel Protheroe, the most disliked man in the village. In the aforementioned St Mary Mead, there is a general climate of harmony and good-will and everyone gets along. She is Christie's second most famous but personal favorite detective.
She is notable for her ability to draw parallels between murder mysteries and ordinary village incidents. This is the first novel (but not the first story) to feature Miss Marple, the harmless old lady who lives at the idyllic village of St Mary Mead and just happens to constantly bump into murders.
