When an ad appears in the gazette announcing a murder to take place on Friday at Little Paddocks at 6:30 p.m., the locals show up, assuming it's a murder mystery party, only to get shot at and then become witnesses to the real murder of a boy no one knows. Fortunately, Miss Marple arrives and unravels this tangled skein before too many of them get bumped off. Miss Jane Marple doesn't look like your average detective. Quite frankly, she doesn't look like a detective at all. But looks can be deceiving, for the mild-mannered spinster sleuth is as adept at solving murders that baffle Scotland Yard as she is at unravelling village secrets. Description in Spanish: En el periódico de Chipping Cleghorn se publica una noticia sorprendente que deja atónitos a los pacíficos vecinos del pueblo: "El viernes, a las seis y media, alguien morirá asesinado en casa de Letittia Blacklock. La curiosidad es mayor que el miedo y las personas más relevantes de la población se dan cita en la casa a la hora anunciada. Una vez allí comprueban que la noticia del periódico era fidedigna, a la hora indicada se produce un asesinato. Afortunadamente, Miss Marple, de visita en la villa, se encarga de resolver el macabro asunto con su peculiar estilo.
