Seven Guests, Six Came Home | A Miss Marple Story

In the village of Westmere St. Anne, seven uneasy guests accept a mysterious invitation to Blackthorn Lodge—but only six return with the same carefully rehearsed story. What begins as an eccentric house party soon turns into a reckoning over a forged letter, an old disgrace, and the ruin of Anne Cresset twenty-two years earlier. When Lydia Harcourt disappears after a tense dinner, Miss Marple begins to question the tidy explanation carried back by the surviving guests. A locked conservatory, a hidden handbag, a missing glove, a sealed packet, and an old ice house reveal that one shared secret has finally demanded payment in blood.
