WHO IS MISS MARPLE?? Agatha Christie first wrote a series of six short stories for a

a magazine. She created six characters who meet once a week in a small village and discuss unsolved crime.

These six people are Miss Marple, an old woman who is very clever; Raymond West, her nephew; Joyce Lemprière, an artist; Sir Henry Clithering, a well-groomed man; Dr Pender, an elderly clergyman; Mr Petherick, a solicitor.

To Agatha Christie, Miss Marple was born at the age of 65-70.She endowed Miss Marple with some of her Granny’s powers and similarities.

This amazing and adventures book takes us to many unsolved crimes which may be scary but amusing!!

THE BLOODSTAINED PAVEMENT The story takes place in a village named Rathole, in a

little steep Cornish street, Joyce Lemprière who is narrating the story visits for a forthnight to sketch.

As soon as she starts to draw, she notices a man and a woman coming out of a car. After a short time another car veers, stops and a woman gets out.

As soon as the second woman, Carol gets out of the car, the man, Denis recognises her and introduces her to his wife Margery. Carol was an old friend of Denis.

They all agree to go bathing and Denis insists to go out with the boat, but Carol hates boats, so Denis and his wife Margery decide to go with the boat and meet Carol there.

On their return from their outing with Carol, Denis and Margery hang their swimsuits at the balcony .

While painting Joyce is interrupted by a local, who uninvitingly relates to her the story of Rathole. In the meantime, Joyce notices that by mistake she had painted some blood stains on the pavement .

All there really was, was a dried stain under the red and blue bathing suit hanging from the balcony.

Suddenly Denis comes out and asks them if they have seen Carol, as she hasn’t returned to her room yet.

He went to look for her and left Margery at the inn. After looking everywhere, he found her clothes lying on a rock but could not see her anywhere.

A week later, while Joyce was in another village to sketch, she observed a similar event she had previously seen in Rathole. She saw Denis meet Carol, but instead of Margery she saw another woman and again they all decided they to go bathing.

Joyce went to the police station to report this strange information. There she found a man from Scotland Yard to whom she explained everything, in fact he was there because he had been noticing the same thing as well.

What do you think happened in the end???

True Facts:o Denis is married to Carol. oThey both invented a plan to earn some money in a criminal way.oWhen they went to the beach together Carol and Denis murdered Margery and so Carol wore Margery’s clothes so that no one would see the difference.o That is why Joyce drew the blood on the pavement because blood dripped from the red swimsuit that Margery was wearing when Carol and Denis killed her.

‘’There is a great deal of wickedness in village life. I hope you dear young people will never realise how very wicked the world is.’’
