Who is Miss Marple?


Search: miss marple

Why: On Rosy Little Things:
I am just the teensiest bit nostalgic for the quiet house, the quiet dog patiently munching her "chip" at the end of the bed, the quiet nights of bedroom TV with Miss Marple and Mrs. Beeton, the sounds of a DJ and "Mony Mony" at an eighth-grade graduation party down the block wafting through the twilight.
Answer: Jane Marple is a fictional elderly spinster and amateur detective who appears in 12 of Agatha Christie's novels, including The Body in the Library, The Moving Finger, and They Do It With Mirrors. She first appeared in a short story called "The Tuesday Night Club" in 1927.
