First, there's a mystery man with a bullet-wound who is found in a church...then, the riddle of a dead man's buried treasure...the curious conduct of a caretaker after a fatal riding accident...the link between a corpse and a tape-measure...a girl framed for theft...and a suspect accused of stabbing his wife with a dagger. There you have six gripping cases. There's one more, a surprise. They have one thing in common - the astonishing deductive powers of Miss Marple.
The titles are: 1. Sanctuary, 2. Strange Jest, 3. Tape-Measure Murder, 4. The Case of the Caretaker, 5. The Case of the Perfect Maid, 6. Miss Marple Tells a Story, 7. The Dressmaker's Doll, 8. In a Glass Darkly, and 9. Greenshaw's Folly. The two non-Marple mysteries are #7 and #8 - both are Agatha Christie standalone short stories.
