The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side - (Miss Marple Mysteries) by Agatha Christie (Paperback)

About the Book

After the death of her husband, Dolly Bantry sold Gossington Hall to the former film star Marina Gregg and her husband. When the glamorous couple decide to throw a benefit party for the local hospital, the grounds are thronged with curious visitors, and for one of them, the day ends in tragedy.

Book Synopsis

In this exclusive authorized edition from the Queen of Mystery, a fatal dose of poison meant for a glamorous movie star fells her ardent admirer instead--and Miss Marple is there to unmask a murderer.

One minute, silly Heather Babcock had been babbling on at her movie idol, the glamorous Marina Gregg. The next, Heather suffered a massive seizure, poisoned by a deadly cocktail.

It seems likely that the cocktail was intended for the beautiful actress. But while the police fumble to find clues, Miss Marple begins to ask her own questions, because as she knows--even the most peaceful village can hide dark secrets.
