In the Miss Marple universe, at least some of these short stories seem to precede the events of Jane Marple’s first full-length appearance (The Body in the Library). We have a retired Sir Henry Clithering as well as both Bantrys and nephew Raymond, but a physician other than Dr. Haydock. Also, while described as elderly, Miss Marple is quite spry, and might be in her early 60s at this point.

These short stories are exemplars of two things. First, the acumen of the beloved Miss Jane Marple. And second, the ordered mind and deft skills of her creator, Dame Agatha Christie. It is much harder to write a short story than a long one, with space and word count at such a premium.
