  • "Moord in het dorp. - Miss Marple gaat samen met de dorpsdominee op zoek naar de dader van de moord op een oude kolonel."
  • "Dankzij de scherpzinnigheid van Miss Marple wordt de dader van de moord in een Engelse dorpspastorie opgespoord."
  • "AThe murder of Colonel Protheroe -- shot through the head -- is a shock to everyone in St Mary Mead, though hardly an unpleasant one. Now even the vicar, who had declared that killing the detested Protheroe would be 'doing the world at large a favour,' is a suspect -- the Colonel has been dispatched in the clergyman's study, no less. But the picturesque English village of St Mary Mead is overpopulated with suspects. There is of course the faithless Mrs Protheroe; and there is of course her young lover -- an artist, to boot.Perhaps more surprising than the revelation of the murderer is the detective who will crack the case: 'a white-haired old lady with a gentle, appealing manner.' Miss Jane Marple has arrived on the scene, and crime literature's private men's club of great detectives will never be the same."
  • ""When Colonel Protheroe is found murdered in the vicar's study, it seems that almost everyone in the village of St Mary Mead had a motive to kill him. This is the first case for Agatha Christie's legendary female detective, Miss Marple. She needs to use all her powers of observation and deduction to solve the mystery." --rear cover."

  • "When the Parson declares rather carelessly 'Anyone who murdered Colonel Prothero would be doing the world at large a service!', he does not realise his words will come back to haunt him. From several potential murderers, Miss Marple must find the real killer."@en
  • "El euerpo sin vida del coronel Protheroe es hallado en el despacho del vicario y miss Marple no está satisfecha con los resultados de las investigaciones que realiza la policia, ya que esa muerte beneficia a más de una persona del pueblo."
  • "Miss Jane Marple, spinster sleuth extraordinaire, is introduced in this first mystery to feature her brilliant talents. Here she must use all her intuitive powers to solve the murder of the detested Colonel Protheroe when he is found shot in the local vicar's study."@en
  • ""Anyone who murdered Colonel Protheroe," declared the parson, brandishing a carving knife above a joint of roast beef, "would be doing the world at large a favor!" It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later -- when the Colonel is found shot dead in the clergyman's study. But as Miss Marple soon discovers, the whole village seems to have had a motive to kill Colonel Protheroe. (The first Miss Marple story.)"
  • "When Colonel Protheroe is found dead from a single gun shot wound to the head, none of his neighbors in the village of St. Mary Mead is much surprised. Many people wished this local official would say farewell, if not quite so permanently. While suspects abound and the local police syymied, it is up to Miss Jane Marple to root out the killer."@en
  • "The murder of Colonel Protheroe was a shock to everyone though hardly an unpleasant one. Suspects abounded. The baffled police are even more astounded when a demure spinster, Miss Jane Marple, announces her plan to capture the murderer."@en
  • ""Nothing ever happens in the peaceful village of St Mary Mead. So it seems almost incredible when Colonel Protheroe is discovered shot through the head in the vicarage study. Unfortunately for the murderer, there is someone in the village who knows everything, sees everything and hears everything - and she intends to work out who killed the Colonel. Her name is Miss Marple!"--Back cover."

  • "Miss Marple, the beloved busybody sleuth, is introduced in this first-ever mystery to feature her brilliant talents. This ordinary, small-town spinster triumphs over the best brains of Scotland Yard! Everyone, even the vicar, said the death of Colonel Protheroe would be a service to the world. Pushy, pretentious, and pompous, the colonel annoyed, frightened, and outraged almost everyone in St. Mary Mead. So when he is found shot, no one is terribly surprised. In fact, most residents are pleased, and nearly everyone in town is a suspect: his daughter, his second wife, the artist enamored with both of them, the poacher ... even the vicar. The murder even has two people insisting on taking credit for it themselves. Into this uproar of a crime and its aftermath, Miss Marple steps carefully and shrewdly. With her uncanny cleverness and annoying meddling, the sharp-eyed spinster fits the nearly endless pieces of the puzzle together and succeeds in trapping the murderer."@en

  • "When the vicar in Miss Marple's village declares in exasperation that anyone who murdered Colonel Prothero would be doing the world a favor, he does not realize that his words will come back to haunt him. The colonel, a most unpopular local resident, has a long list of enemies who become suspects when he is, indeed, murdered. Miss Marple, temporarily incapacitated after an accident, is perfectly positioned to investigate."@en
  • "Miss Marple has to discover who murdered Colonel Protheroe, not an easy task because, apparently he was a very unlikeable man."@en

It was a careless remark for a man of the cloth. And one which was to come back and haunt the clergyman just a few hours later. From seven potential murderers, Miss Marple must seek out the suspect who had both motive and opportunity."
