In 2010, an audio book and the Kindle edition were released, which included six stories from the book, plus “Greenshaw’s Folly”. Despite the title, most of the stories were written in the 1940s so they are not chronologically the “final” cases which Miss Marple was involved in. The book contains eight short stories, six featuring Miss Marple and two other stories, and did not appear in the US. It was the last Christie book to be published under the Collins Crime Club imprint although HarperCollins continue to be the writer’s UK publishers. A short story collection first published in the UK by Collins Crime Club in October 1979. Desplazarse hacia abajo para ver la versión en español
