Agatha Christie's famous detective, Miss Marple has amazed everyone with her super ability to solve murders. Why hasn't any killer tried to knock her off when they learn she is on the case? In this satire a Miss Marble, quite different from Miss Marple, is to be murdered by a group of people out for revenge. A perfect settiing is a 500 year anniversary celebration of a castle located in Northern England. Bumbles, fumbles and outright stupidity foil attempts to kill her. Comic satire. Lisa Binion Author Story & My Thoughts: I grew up reading Agatha Christie's mysteries. I own all of them, and each one has been read several times. No criminal could get away with any wrongdoing if Miss Marple happened to be in the vicinity. With her long history of solving crime, have you ever wondered why no criminal ever tried to do away with her? Twelve Days of Christmas Mayhem and Murder is a mystery-comedy spoof in which Miss Marple is known as the hilarious Miss Marble. In this story, someone is trying to do away with her so she will no longer stick her nose where criminals feel it doesn't belong. Cheatham castle in northern England provides the setting for this story during a brutal British winter and the Christmas season. A 500-year anniversary is seen as a time to draw attention to the castle and prepare to turn it into a tourist magnet. During this celebration,the castle is full of guests and one or more of these guests wants snoopy old Miss Marble dead. Others among the visitors do not want her to stay alive. There are enough red herrings, attacks, narrow escapes, and murders to satisfy any fan of mystery fiction. I don't believe that there will ever be another Agatha Christie, but Aaron Knight has successfully written a satisfying spoof of one of the brilliant detectives she created. If you are a fan of Miss Marple stories, you might get a kick out of seeing her in a different light. I believe that even Agatha Christie herself would get a kick out of this spoof of one of her famous detectives.
