description: The placid village of Lymstock has more than its share of shameful secrets! But it seems the perfect place for Jerry Burton to recuperate from his accident under the care of his sister, Joanna. Soon a series of vicious poison-pen letters destroys the village's quiet charm, eventually causing one recipient to commit suicide. The vicar, the doctor, the servants-all are on the verge of accusing one another when help arrives from an unexpected quarter. The vicar's houseguest happens to be none other than Jane Marple.
