An ordinary village a shocking announcement

One morning the villagers of Chipping Cleghorn wake to find a strange notice in their papers:  A murder is announced and will take place on Friday, October 29th, at Little Paddocks at 6.30pm.

Suspecting this is just a joke they gather for some evening entertainment.

Then a gunshot is heard.

In desperation, the police turn to an old lady whose hobbies are gardening, gossiping – and solving murders.

After all, old ladies know better than anyone exactly what goes on in quiet English villages.
