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...
