Alors qu'elle profite de ses vacances aux Antilles, Miss Marple fait la connaissance du major Palgrave. Ce dernier, très expansif, lui fait part de ses souvenirs du Kenya et, en compagnie de plusieurs convives, lui montre la photo d'un assassin qui n'a jamais été arrêté et qui, par conséquence, n'a jamais été condamné. Le lendemain de ce repas, le major est retrouvé mort dans sa chambre. Si la thèse de l'accident est mise en avant, Miss Marple n'y croit guère et décide de mener sa propre enquête.
Accusé du meurtre de sa mère adoptive, Jacko Argyle est exécuté en prison. Celui-ci avait pourtant clamé haut et fort son innocence. Aussi, quand un témoin confirme l'alibi de Jacko, un vent de panique souffle sur la famille Argyle dont les membres deviennent à nouveau suspects. Miss Marple ne pouvait pas passer à côté d'une histoire pareille. Mue par sa curiosité, elle décide de mener son enquête au sein du clan Argyle sans imaginer que le vrai meurtrier pourrait bien se trouver plus près qu'elle ne le croit.
When Miss Marple learns of the deaths of businessman Rex Fortescue, his young wife Adele and their housemaid Gladys, the circumstances vividly recall the nursery rhyme ?Sing a Song of Sixpence?, and since Miss Marple had trained Gladys herself she has a very personal reason to investigate...
Miss Marple is faced with her greatest challenge yet when she receives instructions from an old friend, the recently deceased Mr Rafiel, to investigate a ?possible crime?. But there?s a catch - she has not been told what the crime is. Instead, she is booked onto a mystery coach tour to gather clues.
Miss Marple takes her nephew Raymond West to accompany her on the tour as Mr Rafiel warns that danger may threaten. It begins to dawn on them both that all the passengers have been placed there for a reason, as their lives interconnect in various ways. Even more significantly, everyone is connected to a young girl, Verity Hunt, who went missing during the war.
They also realise that every destination on the tour is significant and start to piece together information about Verity, finding out that she fled from a nun?s sanctuary in the dead of night to be with her German lover, Mr Rafiel?s son Michael, and was never seen again. Is it mere coincidence that Verity also lodged with Sydney Lumley before he met his young wife Margaret? Margaret?s resemblance to Verity shocks the elderly Mr Raeburn, ex butler to the caustic lady of the manor Amanda Dalrymple, who threw out Verity for ?stealing? and is now travelling with an obsequious lawyer, Derek Turnbull. With the help of young detective Colin Hards, Miss Marple and Raymond piece together the secrets of the past to fulfil a promise to her dear old friend.
