The Tuesday Club Murders is a collection of short stories, but the premise is pretty fun. A group of people get together for dinner, one of them a former Scotland Yard detective, and the conversation turns to murder. Miss Marple is there with her nephew and no one really thinks much about the fact. They decide to make a game of the murder talk. They introduce particularly baffling mysteries and take turns trying to solve them with the clues at hand. Only the one telling the story knows the truth, but Miss Marple unerringly arrives at the correct answer every single time. Shocked and a bit amused, the group must acknowledge that hers is a mind you wouldn't want to try to match wits with. Later in the book, a new group is gathered, with much the same outcome. Then an actual murder occurs and Miss Marple knows, just knows, who the killer is, but can't prove it. Never fear, she has friends in high places and justice will be served. Joan Hickson read this audiobook. It was quite enjoyable.
