The residents of Chipping Cleghorn misinterpret a murderous invitation. Agatha Christie's whodunnit stars June Whitfield.

The villagers of Chipping Cleghorn, including Miss Jane Marple, are agog with curiosity over an ad in the local gazette which reads:

'A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 29th at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm'.

As the time approaches, the crowds gather at Little Paddocks and then the lights go out.

Surely it must be a hoax...?

Agatha Christie's whodunnit stars June Whitfield as the deceptively mild sleuth, Miss Jane Marple.

From the book first published in 1950.
