Miss Marple is known and respected by ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard, Sir Henry Clithering. She categorises people into certain groups and believes they always act according to type. Miss Marple very often reaches the correct solution to a problem by comparing the situation and people involved with similar situations and personalities in St Mary Mead. She, in turn, is tolerantly amused by his oh-so-clever, arty books and though she will listen with rapt attention to his exposition of the human condition, it is with a definite twinkle in her eye.
Miss Marple has a nephew, successful author Raymond West, who though extremely fond of his aunt, believes her to be out of touch with the real world. Miss Marple lives in St Mary Mead, a fictitious village somewhere in the South of England. Miss Marple appears in twelve full-length novels. Agatha states in her autobiography, ‘Certainly at that time I had no intention of continuing her for the rest of my life.’ Miss Marple was never intended by Agatha Christie to become a rival to Hercule Poirot.
