I've chosen the third volume of the Omnibus series for my review partially because I haven't found any synopsis next to it so I decided it could be more helpful, and also because all the four stories in it are very different one from another and equally brilliant.

As the good vicar says in "The Murder at the Vicarage", no detective in England can equal an elderly spinster with plenty of time on her hands. But in these four novels Miss Marple appears not only as a great sleith, but as a compassionate and very sensible person in constant search of Justice, however dangerous it might become. Other people are drawn by love, hate, money, - she isn't.

The third volume consists of the novels "Nemesis", "Sleeping Murder", "At Bertram's Hotel" and "The Murder at the Vicarage", and apart from the excellent mystery and some very funny remarks on human nature, contain the splendid soothing discovery: justice is not blind, she is a shrewd old spinster witha remarkably good eyesight and a particular taste for "bird-watching". Read the stories, and at the end you will most inevitably ask youself "Who would I remind Miss Marple of?"...

And then maybe you will buy a pair of binoculars, take up some knitting (not necessary, but has a certain charm) and become an excellent amateur detective!
