Gloves That Framed the Wrong Person | A Miss Marple Mystery

When Miss Emmeline Carraway is found murdered in her own cottage, the police are quick to settle the matter. Beside the body lies a pair of fine kid gloves — and stitched inside the wrist, the initials V.L. Verity Lansdown, whose quarrel with the dead woman over a church raffle is known to everyone in St. Mary Mead, seems the obvious culprit. But Miss Marple, listening quietly and knitting by her window, notices what no one else has troubled to see: the gloves are far too large for Mrs. Lansdown’s famously small hands, and the stitching of the initials is newer than the gloves themselves. As Inspector Slack builds his case against the wrong woman, Miss Marple follows a trail of old scandal, ruined reputations, and a very patient mender of fine needlework — because in St. Mary Mead, the truth is often stitched into the smallest details.
