I really enjoyed this collection of thirteen short detective stories. Reminded me of good ol' Encyclopedia Brown. It was great fun to try to figure out each story, and I particularly enjoyed "The Idol House of Astarte" and "The Companion." I wish I could join the Tuesday Night Club!

Also called The Thirteen Problems.

Quotes:
"I was more disturbed than I can tell you. I was knitting a comforter for old Mrs. Hay at the time, and in my perturbation I dropped two stitches and never discovered it until long after." (Miss Marple, page 90)

"You've got to have S.A."
"What," said Miss Marple, "is S.A.?"
"Sex appeal," said Jane.
"Ah! yes," said Miss Marple. "What in my day they used to call 'having the come hither in your eye."
