Résumé

A classic Agatha Christie short story, available individually for the first time as an ebook. Doctor Haydock, the resident, joyfully brusque, GP of St Mary Mead is apt to drag Miss Marple out of her little depression as she recovers from the flu. He has for a little story, penned himself, but can she figure it out? The tale revolves around the return of the prodigal son of Major Laxton, the devilishly handsome Harry Laxton. Harry, after falling head over heels for the village tobacconist's daughter and leading a life of childish indiscretions has 'made good' and has returned to lay claim to his tumbling childhood home and introduce the village to his beautiful new wife. But, the villagers are prone to gossip about young Harry's past and one person in particular cannot forgive him for tearing down the old house. Will Miss Marple's acumen be up to the task of solving the story even in its sickly state?
