Loading... Strange Jest [short story]by Agatha Christie
![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. Half-cover of my copy. Pretty decent story - my first Miss Marple so I had no past or introduction to her and this story probably isn't what I should start with but it's what I had. If you like Christie then you'll probably want to read this. If you're not a fan then this won't make you a fan. no reviews | add a review

Miss Marple is accosted at a party by a pair of lovebirds who think that a lately deceased uncle has buried their inheritance. The naïve pair expects Miss Marple to instantaneously summon forth where the buried treasure is. But, this careful observer of human nature--the consequence of living in a small English village--knows that a little examination is needed. Invited to Ansteys, the ransacked family seat, Miss Marple ensconces herself in a household that has perhaps been too thoroughly investigated. She regales its members with what appear to be meaningless, infuriating anecdotes, but little do they know their importance and worth.... No library descriptions found.
