Originally published in 1991, Reflecting on Miss Marple looks at
the incongruous combination of violence, murder and a sweet,
white-haired old lady, and examines why this makes such a potent
but unlikely formula. The book is an astute and engaging account
which reveals Miss Marple as a feminist heroine, triumphantly able
to exploit contemporary prejudices against unmarried women in order
to solve her case. The authors explore the inherent contradictions
of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple novels, their social context, and
their place in detective fiction as a whole.
