This started a chain of gossip which led to the exhumation of the body and the discovery that Mrs Jones was poisoned with arsenic. After the character of Vida Winter is introduced, she narrates sections of the book, in sessions with Lea in her library.

Sir Henry tells the first story of three people who sat down to a supper after which all of them fell ill, supposedly of food poisoning, and one died as a result.

The final story to be told at the regular meeting of the Tuesday Club comes from Miss Marple herself. Though its title was appropriately amended and its cover eventually reprinted to read simply Tales of Change and Desperation, a small number of books were printed with the original title and the twelve stories.

The men in the Tuesday Club feel that there is very little in the story to go on, but Miss Marple points out that they do not appreciate the point about clothes as she and Joyce do. The storyline of The Companion was later expanded and reworked into a full-length novel, published as A Murder is Announced, the fourth novel to feature Miss Marple.

The Missus interrupted George's isolation by giving him the baby Isabelle, who woke him to life again. I find myself believing that had I not already been a bibliophile, an encounter with this book would be enough to have me drooling over the endless possibilities and magic that lie within stories.Love: a woman who lived in the vicinity of Angelfield and raised Aurelius from the time he was left on her porch as an infant. Totally stumped by the problem, she was in the high street and in something of a silent prayer for guidance when she opened her eyes and saw a fresh haddock in the fishmonger's window with its characteristic black spots known as the "thumb mark of St.
