The Postman, the Parcel, and the Poison — A Miss Marple Mystery.

A box of violet creams arrives by post. An hour later, a woman is dead on her own hearthrug with the fire gone cold — and the whole village already knows what happened. They are wrong about all of it. Nether Deverill, Wiltshire. Late February, the frost breaking, the lane running mud. Gwen Ferriby was the kindest woman in the village — the sort who arrives with soup before you've admitted you're ill, and never mentions it afterwards, and never lets you go. When she is found dead beside an opened parcel with two sweets missing, the county's anonymous-letter scare finally seems to have reached home. Inspector Bream has a suspect within thirty hours. The village has one within four days. And Miss Jane Marple, staying at the top of the lane with a friend she sees twice in ten years, has noticed something so small that she thinks nothing of it at the time — a postman's pipe that is never smoked on the round, and is warm all the same. Because Nether Deverill does not tell the time by the church clock. It tells the time by Reg Iddon. And then, if pressed, it tells Reg Iddon what the time had been. A full-length original Miss Marple mystery. Perfect for sleep, long drives, quiet evenings, and anyone who likes a village where the real weapon is a debt laid face down on a kitchen table in 1926 and never mentioned again. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Introduction XX:XX — The Thaw XX:XX — The Round XX:XX — Tuesday, Half Past Nine XX:XX — The Version XX:XX — The Funeral Tea XX:XX — What Bream Wanted XX:XX — The Teapot XX:XX — The Marbled Notebook XX:XX — The Inside of the Paper XX:XX — The Glasshouse XX:XX — What Was Never Settled ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe to Marple Files for a new full-length original mystery every week — classic English village detective fiction, narrated for listening end to end. 💬 Tell me in the comments: at what point did you stop believing the parcel? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ This is an ORIGINAL story written for this channel.
