Secrets beneath Lymstock’s quiet surface

In Lymstock, anonymous hate mail is an unsettling nuisance—until Mrs. Symmington’s death makes it impossible to dismiss. Miss Marple questions the conclusion that it was suicide, and the town’s private scandals become central to the mystery. The small-town setting links the letters, the death, and a community’s unease, while the investigation turns on what people conceal and whom they trust. Christie’s premise brings together an amateur woman sleuth, anonymous accusations, and secrets with dangerous consequences.

Book overview

Now with a beautiful new series look, a classic mystery from the Queen of Crime in which the indomitable Miss Marple exposes a small town's shameful secrets.

Lymstock is a town with more than its share of scandalous secrets--a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate mail causes only a minor stir.

But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs. Symmington, commits suicide. Her final note says "I can't go on," but Miss Marple questions the coroner's verdict of suicide.

Soon nobody is sure of anyone--as secrets stop being shameful and start becoming deadly.
