They're the "Queen of Crime"'s deadly duo: St. Mary Mead's elderly spinster, who unmasks even the cleverest killer with her seemingly innocuous but infallible "village parallels," and the little Belgian with the many "little grey cells," whom a speck of dust pains more than even a bullet. Here's an introduction to their world - and more mystery fun than by several other authors combined!
