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.

    Due to a temporary peace agreement between the Brotherhood and Corsican, Maxwell and Boris leave with the French and embark on an adventure that proves to be deadly, life-changing, and brutally hilarious. This book should be read after Dirty Cravings (book six of the Lion and Mouse series). While it does feature sexually explicit scenes, it is not a romance. Content Warning: There is a flashback that may be psychologically triggering to those that have experienced sexual abuse. This moment is not used to entertain but to provide insight into the traumatic bond that Maxwell and Emily have with each other.

    ‘Do you believe Will took his own life?’ 
    The question echoed off the white tiles in the hospital’s cold, cavernous morgue, and I studied my husband in peaceful repose. I leaned down and put my forehead against his. Silent tears ran down my cheeks. They felt hot, and he felt so cold. It was five days since his death, and my grief felt heavy, like a vast, dark mass pushing down on me. 
    When Maggie’s husband, Will, is shot dead in their London home, she thinks he is the victim of a burglary until the police tell her the shocking news that Will was the one who pulled the trigger. 
    Maggie is consumed with grief and questions. Will wasn’t suicidal. He had so much to live for. 
    After the funeral, Maggie travels to their holiday home on a small Croatian island to escape London. She finds a disturbing letter written by Will, containing clues to a dark secret. 
    As Maggie puts the pieces together, she discovers Will’s death is connected to someone from his past… Someone who will go to extreme lengths to keep Maggie silent.
