Marple, Miss

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Marple, Miss

Fictional amateur detective (a prim and gentle spinster). She appears in 13 of Agatha Christie's novels, beginning with The Murder at the Vicarage (1930) and ending with Sleeping Murder (1976). In creating this character, Christie transforms the stereotype of the prim and gentle spinster. Miss Marple's avid interest in human behaviour and undervalued but acute mind produces solutions to highly intricate mysteries.
