  In a sleepy English village, where scandal whispers under a polite facade, a single act of betrayal erupts into a mystery that entangles everyone. In Motive v. Opportunity, Miss Marple faces one of her most baffling dilemmas: when both motive and opportunity lie in plain sight, what reveals the real killer? Every character seems cloaked in a blend of innocence and cunning, each with their own murky secrets. But the question is not who had a reason or the chance—it's who had the audacity. Can Miss Marple's sharp instincts pierce through layers of lies, or will this crime remain unsolved, hidden behind a mask of politeness? Step into a world where every smile may conceal a threat, and every motive may be more deadly than it app

  The Mysterious Affair at the Met

  A  favorite destination—even for New Yorkers—is the venerable Metropolitan  Museum of Art. On this particular day, “the Met,” as generally known, experiences an unusually large number of visitors. Visitors have their choice of viewing over two million works of art spanning five millennia of cultures worldwide. But some among them are up to something more sinister.
   
  At one point, the  Met’s surveillance cameras’ lenses capture “a mysterious-looking couple” amid the many visitors strolling about the many galleries. The pair is dripping wet in their matching taupe Burberry trench coats. Just  as the two of them walk past Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   a masterpiece of Marc Chagall, a large tourist group—who, oddly enough,  all are wearing distinctive red-and-white-striped vinyl raincoats—converges around them. But it is what happens next that baffles the museum’s surveillance crew. After “the mysterious-looking couple” pulls off their prank, they and the large tourist group walk out  of that particular camera’s range, becoming submerged elsewhere in the interminable galleries of the gigantic museum.
   
  But when a docent notices “something strange” with Chagall’s Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
   in short order, the museum-goers inside the Chagall gallery hear “High Alert!” and watch in horror as a heavy metal grille drops down from the ceiling to the floor, effectively locking them inside the gallery.
   
  And thus began what later came to be called The Mysterious Affair at the Met.

Her live-in boyfriend recently cheated on her, her social life is in shambles, and her dog needs a life-saving surgery that she can't afford. Then her luck seems to change when a mysterious figure identifying themself only as The Stranger contacts her with an offer she can't refuse: Put a pill in the new member's drink and, when he dies, she'll have enough money to fix her dog and her life. 
   
   
   
  Her target turns out to be Tony Fiore—Kim's bad boy ex-boyfriend from high school. Fifteen years have passed, and he now goes by Anthony Fuller. He's cleaned up, made tens of millions, and his gorgeous fiancée, twenty-two-year-old PJ Walsh, is on his arm. 
   
   
   
  Stunned to see Tony again, Kim can't bring herself to go through with spiking his drink. Instead, it is PJ who dies horrifically at the table just as dinner ends. Was someone else at the club—member or worker—tasked with poisoning PJ just as she had been instructed to do to Tony? Who would want both of them dead? With no one to trust and The Stranger to answer to, Kim must peel back the layers of deceit to reveal a deeply buried truth, more shocking than she could ever imagine . . .
