Death Came Wrapped in Gold Paper | A Miss Marple Christmas Puzzle

Описание: A chilling Miss Marple mystery unfolds on a quiet Boxing Day, when a beautifully wrapped parcel appears in the hall of Willow Grange—and remains unopened. By evening, the woman everyone relied upon is dead, her passing accepted with uncomfortable relief. Miss Marple notices what others dismiss: a parcel brought in from the cold, a ribbon bought months too early, and gold paper used not to conceal a gift, but a reckoning long postponed.

Told with calm, Christie-like restraint and emotional precision, this Miss Marple tale explores obligation mistaken for kindness, gratitude hardened into expectation, and the quiet weight of moral debt carried for too many years. Perfect for listeners who savor reflective village mysteries, seasonal unease, and revelations that arrive gently—yet leave nothing unchanged.
