That Unfaithful Shooting

Everything is ordinary in the morning routine of Chipping Cleghorn. But something stands out - an announcement in the newspaper for murder! The murder is to take place at Little Paddocks, the abode of Letitia. Everyone goes, all fun and games, but as fun turns to fear, there is a real shooting! The details are unbeknownst to all, yet a fervent curiosity envelops the crime. The police begin their inquiry, assigning it to the shrewd and pragmatic Craddock.

The culprit’s cadaver is found and identified by Craddock. The scoundrel is Rudi Scherz, a boy who worked at the Royal Spa Hotel of Chipping Cleghorn. Craddock goes to the spa to probe for information pertaining to the young Rudi and his crime. His manager discloses a few words about possible theft, but certainly no premeditation of murder. And so provides a coworker a duplicate description. Did he really orchestrate the shooting? And so Craddock reappears in Chipping Cleghorn, starting with the home of Letitia.

It seems our shooter remembers Letitia from the Hotel des Alpes, seeking money from Letitia. Nothing of value rests in Little Paddocks, contributing to the befuddlement of Craddock. Craddock presses on, interviewing all who were present at the shooting. A fuse blowing, a blinding light, three gunshots - echoes through Chipping Cleghorn. Still the darkness prevails, a shroud of mystery around the attempted murder. Yet have no fear, for Miss Marple has arrived to decode the crime!

The wise Marple is certain - someone else is behind this crime. A possibility is uncovered: the fortune of Randal Goedler shall go to Letitia! The unidentifiable Emma and Pip would take the prize if Letitia were to perish, a surefire catalyst to murder. But that's not all! A mysterious door is discovered, its relevance eluding Craddock. An absent-minded Bunner meets to discuss, for something is amiss in the Paddocks of Chipping Cleghorn. Succeeding a cut-short revelation, a party comprises the complete group of the shooting.

Dora celebrates a birthday, a moment of peace within the confusion of the shooting. The old Bunner indulges in Delicious Death and a delicious death indeed, as she becomes the second victim of a crime. Miss Hinchcliffe and Murgatroyd are meanwhile busy, as a reenactment takes place in Chipping Cleghorn. Murgatroyd is pronounced victim three as she stumbles upon the folly of the one known as Letitia. While on the hunt for evidence of greed-inspired murder, the attic and its bounty of letters interest Craddock. The late, and previously ill Charlotte is discovered, an enigmatic piece of the puzzle of attempted murder.

Pip and Emma emerge as two house guests abandon their ruse, but so with their ruse goes a motive for murder. The detectives have a plan and all shall be clear about the convoluted shooting. Mitzi’s confession ignored, everyone is questioned rapidly by Craddock. They run to the kitchen to witness a drowning - Letitia is caught in a heinous crime! A shrewd mimicry by Miss Marple causes a breakdown in the mind of Letitia. Charlotte, the imposter, is carried away, restoring peace to the quaint town of Chipping Cleghorn.

Marple and Craddock explain the past deeds. Charlotte was impersonating Letitia And the endeavor to murder was a sham. She had fooled them all, as she waited in Chipping Cleghorn for the Goedler fortune. The crime eliminated the boy, for he knew far too much. And thus concludes that unfaithful shooting.
