Sinopse

In the quiet English village of St. Mary Mead, where life appears peaceful and predictable, a single gunshot shatters the calm of an ordinary afternoon. Colonel Protheroe is found dead in the vicar’s study, and what first seems a straightforward case soon unfolds into a web of secrets, lies, and carefully constructed alibis.As villagers step forward with suspicious confessions and hidden motives emerge beneath polite façades, the sharp mind of Miss Jane Marple begins to piece together the truth. Elderly and unassuming, yet brilliantly perceptive, Miss Marple proves that even the most respectable communities conceal dark passions and deadly intentions.The Murder at the Vicarage is one of Agatha Christie’s most celebrated novels and marks the debut of one of detective fiction’s most beloved characters. A masterful classic mystery, rich with wit, psychological insight, and unexpected twists, where nothing is quite as it seems—and every detail matters.Agatha Christie (1890–1976) was one of the most influential writers in literary history and the undisputed Queen of Crime. Born in Torquay, England, she transformed detective fiction with brilliantly constructed plots, subtle psychological insight, and an unmatched sense of misdirection. Across a career spanning more than fifty years, Christie wrote over sixty detective novels, numerous short story collections, and several enduring plays. She created two of the most iconic characters in mystery literature: the fastidious Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the deceptively gentle yet razor-sharp Miss Jane Marple.Her books are celebrated for their “fair-play” mysteries, where every clue is present and nothing is accidental. Translated into more than one hundred languages and selling billions of copies worldwide, Agatha Christie remains the best-selling novelist of all time and a cornerstone of classic crime fiction.

    West End theatre impresario Septimus Gooch is a man with many enemies, but when he's found dead in his leading lady's dressing-room the police put it down to an accident. 
    The cast of Septimus's latest musical production at the Jollity Theatre are having none of it, however—this is the second mysterious death in two months, and they're convinced Septimus died after being frightened out of his wits by the ghost that's haunted the theatre ever since it burned to the ground many years ago. A malevolent spirit is on the loose, striking them down one by one. Which of them will be next? 
    Press-man Freddy Pilkington-Soames was backstage at the Jollity on the night Septimus died. He doesn't believe in ghosts, but he knows a suspicious death when he sees one—and when a third person dies there's no doubt this time that a human hand was behind it. 
    Freddy's fending off the attentions of several chorus-girls at once, so has his own distractions to contend with. But murder's no joke, and he'll do anything he can to catch the killer before the whole production falls apart. 
    After all, the show must go on.
