![]() ![]() It refers to a black mark above the fin of a haddock fish (and other fish as well that have dark spots on their sides like the John Dory fish). I had to look up the reference used in the title: Thumb Mark of St Peter. The characters appear in several more stories.so I'm anxious to find out what other mysteries they try to work out! This is the sixth and final story that happens at a regular meeting of the Tuesday night club. Christie worked as an apothecary's assistant during World War I, so I'm sure she picked up quite a bit of knowledge about chemicals, poisons and various drugs. :) Many of the murders in Christie's books (In her 66 novels, 30 characters met their doom via poison) involve poison, chemicals or an overdose of some sort. I love golden age mysteries.someone always slipping arsenic or some chemical into people's tea or dinner. Interesting story.and I had to smile as Christie went into a discussion about poisons and their effects. This story was not adapted for television on its own, but the show Agatha Christie's Marple had an episode based on another story, Greenshaw's Folly, and the plot for this short tale was also included in the episode.

The evidence is pretty damning.but did her niece Mabel kill her husband or was she only guilty of marrying the wrong man? In this 6th story, it's finally Miss Marple's turn to tell a story! She tells a tale about a woman suspected of poisoning her husband. The members are Miss Marple, her nephew, a lawyer, an artist, a clergyman and a writer. One member of the Tuesday Night Club shares a story, and the others try to figure out the truth. The first few tales feature Miss Marple and five friends gathering on Tuesday nights to share tales of unsolved or strange mysteries. These tales were printed in fiction and detective magazines before Christie published her first books featuring her classic characters. The stories are quite short, most ranging from 14-20 pages.

Agatha Christie has been my favorite author since I read my first Hercule Poirot story at age 9. ![]()
