The Murder at the Vicarage // Appointment With an Assassin — Agatha Christie

The police relaxed when their first suspect confessed. They became uneasy when their second followed suit. By the third confession, they were tied up in knots--and only the sure hand of the remarkable Miss Marple could unravel the tangled skein of deception spun by a maddeningly elusive murderer.
