A Novel is Explained
On Friday the 29th a murder was announced in the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette. Little Paddocks was the location, home of Miss Letitia Blacklock. Nobody knew who made the announcement, including she, though they thought instead that a murder game would be the case. No one expected the affair to result in blood.

After the lights went out and Lettie's ear dripped with blood, it was revealed that there had been a murder. Inspector Craddock was put on the case to investigate what happened at Little Paddocks. He discovered that Dora Bunner, she and many others were guests of Miss Blacklock.

Julia and Patrick were relatives of Miss Blacklock they were long-distance cousins by blood. But Julia was not really as she seemed. She and Mrs. Haymes had a motive to murder their patron at Little Paddocks. And yet, like many other things, that was not really the case.

They were not the only suspects in the case. Many others were also guests of Miss Blacklock on that night at 6: 30 in Little Paddocks. And that night wasn't the only one to end in blood, because Rudi's murder just led to more murder. Miss Murgatroyd became a victim when she shouted the word "she".

Miss Bunner also fell victim because she told Miss Marple too many hints about the case. The only way she could be shut up was by murder at least in the eyes of Miss Blacklock who, despite being related by blood, was not really Letitia from Little Paddocks.

The one really residing at Little Paddocks was Lettie's sister, Charlotte. She wanted Lettie's fortune, felt entitled to it by blood. If she hadn't been recognized, there wouldn't be a case. But Rudi Schertz knew she was not the right Blacklock and because of that she resorted to murder.

Yet with all the blood spilled by Lottie Blacklock and Little Paddocks turned into the scene of more than one murder Craddock and Marple closed the case, so there would be no fortune for she.
