Murder at the Old Country Estate | A Miss Marple Mystery

A telegram. A postmark that didn't match. And a house full of people who knew more than they were saying. When Lady Evelyn Hartwell sends for Miss Marple with just fourteen words — "Someone is lying and I fear they always have been" — the quiet village detective arrives at Hartwell Estate to find a dead lord, a refilled decanter, and a family on the edge of collapse. This is the story of what happens when a father waits forty years too long to do the right thing — and one son can't survive that revelation. A slow-burn, atmospheric mystery in the classic Agatha Christie tradition. No heroes. No villains. Just people, and the unsaid things that destroy them. 🕰️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — The telegram that didn't add up 04:35 — Lady Evelyn 11:08 — Roderick 16:21 — Dr. Pemberton 20:15 — Dinner 24:44 — Inspector Grieve 28:25 — The refilled decanter 34:01 — Mrs. Croft 37:29 — Diana's confession 41:07 — The solicitor arrives 48:05 — Miss Marple searches 53:06 — Thomas speaks 01:01:16 — Friday morning 01:15:23 — Roderick 01:28:32 — Miss Marple departs ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This is an original work of fiction inspired by the style and tradition of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple stories.
