The Teacup That Chose Its Victim | A Miss Marple Story

In the sun-warmed village of Wychford Parva, Miss Marple joins a respectable Thursday tea circle where every cup is identical, every conversation is civilised, and one quiet woman is watching something she should never have seen. When Ruth Albery suddenly collapses after drinking tea at Larkspur House, Dr. Marsh suspects digitalis—and Miss Marple remembers the exact position of every Spode cup, a hairline chip, and a diamond ring catching the afternoon light. What begins as a poisoned teacup soon reveals foxglove cuttings, a chemist’s careless confidence, a hidden letter inside a library book, Dorothy Peel’s dangerous secret, and Vera Channing’s frightened silence. As Miss Marple follows the smallest details, she uncovers why Ruth was targeted—and why the quiet ones must always be protected most carefully.
