USA Little Miss Marple: A Surprise is Announced
Miss Marple meets Mr Men and Little Miss in this new story, written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves. Loosely inspired by A Murder is Announced, but with a light and humorous twist for younger fans, this is a mystery that only someone with a sharp mind can solve!
It was with some surprise that, on opening her copy of the St Mary Mead Chronicle, Little Miss Surprise read the following announcement: ‘A surprise is announced and will take place on Friday, 29th October, at Little Paddocks at 6:30pm.’
