It begins with a story in the local paper about a murder. Problem is the murder hasn't happened yet. Most people take it as an invitation to a game at a local neighbor's house, not a real murder. When everyone arrives, the lights come back on, the victim lies dead at their feet. But was it murder? Or suicide? Maybe it was an accident. Detectives show up to investigate. Who was the victim, why were they killed, and what was gained by the killer. Luckily, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the final solution.
