Tape Measure Murder

Miss Politt has been waiting and waiting outside Laburnum Cottage for Mrs. Spenlow, to no avail. She nervously acquires the help of the next-door neighbor whose gumption and persistence reveal that Mrs. Spenlow is dead on the hearthrug. The whole of St. Mary Mead is convinced it's Mr. Spenlow, who has shown no emotion upon his wife's sudden death, but, with Miss Marple's characteristic assiduity she shows that it is perhaps not that simple. And when people's pasts catch up with them, it can make them act rashly.
