The Thirteen Problems

This new mini hardback edition completes the series of collectable Miss Marple hardbacks – the first time all 14 Marple books have had their own uniform hardback series.

A policeman, a clergyman, a solicitor, an author, an artist, and an unassuming lady with a shrewd gaze – Miss Jane Marple. Conversation naturally turns to crime.

Each recounts a seemingly unsolvable mystery. Each thinks they know the answer.

But it’s the one they least expect who understands the true nature of each wicked act…

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘Billions of readers can’t be wrong.’
Dreda Say Mitchell

‘The plots are so good that one marvels . . . most of them would have made a full-length thriller.’
