Sinopsis

Agatha Christie's 'The Murder at the Vicarage' inaugurates the beloved St. Mary Mead series featuring the astute amateur sleuth Miss Marple. Set in a quaint English village, the narrative unfolds with the discovery of a murder in the local vicar's residence, a place thought to be beyond the reach of violence. Through a masterful blend of genteel ambiance and the sinister undercurrents of human nature, Christie constructs a classic whodunit replete with red herrings and intricate clues. Her lucid prose and deft characterizations allow for a sophisticated exploration of rural English society, making this novel an exemplary model of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Agatha Christie, often dubbed 'The Queen of Crime,' was inspired by her surroundings and personal experiences to craft mysteries that challenge and enthrall readers. Her upbringing in the Devon countryside and experiences during both World Wars instilled in her a keen insight into human behavior, which she leverages dramatically in this work. Christie's proficiency in weaving complex plots with credible characters is testimony to her enduring appeal and her status as the best-selling novelist of all time. For readers seeking a compelling mystery steeped in atmospheric charm and intricate puzzlement, 'The Murder at the Vicarage' is an indispensable read. Christie expertly draws her audience into a world where appearances are deceiving and every character harbors a secret. Scholarly enthusiasts of detective fiction will appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind the tale but also its pioneering influence on the genre. Whether a seasoned fan or a newcomer to Christie's work, this novel offers a delightful blend of intrigue and literary merit.

    A Streatham banker named Mr Alexander Holder makes a loan of £50,000 (equivalent to approximately £5.76 million in 2019[1][2]) to a socially prominent client, who leaves a beryl coronet - one of the most valuable public possessions in existence - as collateral. Feeling his bank's personal safe is insufficient to protect such a rare and precious piece of jewellery, he takes it home and keeps it in his dressing room. However, he and his niece Mary later find his son Arthur holding the coronet, seemingly trying to bend it, and three beryls missing from it. A panicked Holder seeks out Sherlock Holmes for help. 
    Despite the damning evidence against Arthur, who is refusing to give a statement, Holmes is unconvinced. With the threat of Holder's reputation being besmirched and a national scandal weighing heavily on his mind, Holmes determines Arthur could not have broken the coronet on his own without making noise, notices footprints in the snow outside Holder's home, and considers Holder's servants, Mary, and Arthur's rakish friend Sir George Burnwell as potential suspects.

But their idyllic prenuptial life unravels when they accept an invitation to reside with Dr. Benjamin Franklin, America's brilliant, enigmatic ambassador to France.

Will Becca and Daniel find the killer before the murderer strikes again, and will they ever manage to marry?
