LikedI love the plot of it. I love the fact that a murder was announced in the paper first before it even happened. And like there just a sense of curiosity, the sense of what the hell is going on here.

A Murder Is Announced (1950)
Creators: Liked The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an advertisement in the local gazette which read: 'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m.' Unable to resist the mysterious invitation, a crowd begins to gather at Little Paddocks at the ppointed time when, without warning, the lights go out . . .

Lovedmurder is announced is really fun though and I really enjoyed that one. That's definitely my favorite Miss Marle by quite a long way.

Arthur Conan DoyleA collection of eleven exciting stories, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, published in 1894, is a must read for serious crime fiction lovers. This collection includes fascinating variety of stories such as Silver Blaze, The Yellow Face, The Stock-Broker's Clerk, The Gloria Scott, The Musgrave Ritual, The Reigate Puzzle, The Crooked Man, The Resident Patient, The Greek Interpreter, The Naval Treaty, and of course the unforgettable - The Final Problem, in which the readers witness the meeting of Sherlock Holmes with the evil Professor Moriarty and in the end their hand-to -hand struggle which leads to both of them falling over the precipice at the Reichenbach Falls, apparently to their deaths. So great was public outcry against the death Sherlock Holmes that Doyle had to resurrect him in The Return of Sherlock Holmes which was published in 1905.
