At first, everyone thinks it's a macabre joke, but when a crime is actually committed, there is great consternation. Who had a motive? And why was the announcement made public? The police are faced with a mystery. Fortunately, one of England's cleverest investigators is on hand: Miss Marple. With her sharp mind and her feel for human weaknesses, she gets to the bottom of the truth.
