Do any of my kind friends know where the church on the cover of this book is located in reality? I feel like I've seen it in British TV shows (Lewis, Midsomer Murders, maybe even Father Brown)

stonepicnicking_okapi: Miss Marple (marple)
Being the first Miss Marple novel, Murder at the Vicarage deserves its own post. I listened to Joan Hickson reading it here on the You Tube and I watched the Joan Hickson TV version. I enjoyed Joan Hickson and the Yes, Minister vicar in the last, but the rest of the cast I could take or leave.

I've read it many times, but you always find something new if you really love a book. There was one part which I liked very much this go-round.

"I have been reading a lot of American detective stories from the library lately," said Miss Marple, "hoping to find them helpful."

"Was there anything in them about picric acid?"

"I'm afraid not."


The idea of Miss Marple on the reservation list at the Saint Mary Mead's lending library for the latest Raymond Chandler and reading it for clues tickles me.

The next up is the Detection Club's The Floating Admiral and Christie's own The Sittaford Mystery.
