Agatha Christie was a great crime writer of the 20th century. On 24 December 1914 Agatha married an aviator named Archibald Christie. They had a daughter named Rosalind in 1919. During the First World War, she volunteered to work in a red cross hospital. In 1917 she became a dispenser and turned to writing. Miss Marple's Final Cases is a collection of nine Miss Marple short stories. Published posthumously, this collection was originally entitled, Miss Marple's 6 Final Cases and Two Other Stories. The book was called her Final Cases because it mostly contained the last short stories that Christie wrote that focused on her famed amateur detective, the elderly Miss Marple. However, two of the stories in this collection, The Dressmaker's Doll and In a Glass Darkly do not contain Miss Marple and are the "and Two Other Stories" listed in the original title. Two of the stories in this collection have a somewhat supernatural feel, while the rest are traditional mysteries including one fantastic locked room mystery. Other stories in this collection follow Miss Marple's efforts to prove a man innocent of murdering his wife. There is a story in which a man tries to get the last laugh on his heir, from beyond the grave. There is also a nice assortment of thefts, murders, and a missing person's case, as well as other forms of mayhem. As well, all include a solid hodgepodge of red herrings yet enough clues to enable you to solve the mystery - if you keep all your wits about you!
