Opening Sentence: Murder at the Vicarage


It is difficult to know quite where to begin this story, but I have fixed my choice on a certain Wednesday at luncheon at the Vicarage.
-- Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie.

This is the first of Christie's full-length novels featuring Miss Jane Marples, although Miss Marples had appeared in earlier short stories.

The Vintage Mystery Challenge has me in a vintage mystery mood, for sure.  This will count as one of my choices in the Golden Age Girls category.
