How many Miss Marple stories are there?

It's hard to give an exact number off the top of my head. But Miss Marple was featured in a significant number of Agatha Christie's novels, and a detailed search through her bibliography would provide the precise count.

There are a total of 12 Miss Marple novels written by Agatha Christie.

Miss Marple appeared in a considerable number of novels. It's quite a few, but the exact count might vary depending on how you classify some works.

Miss Marple is a very shrewd and observant character. She often notices the smallest details that others overlook, which helps her solve the mysteries. For example, in some stories, she can tell a person's character from their choice of clothing or how they behave in a social setting.

The police officers who initially underestimate Miss Marple but later come to rely on her insights are also main characters in a sense. For example, Inspector Craddock in some stories. He is often skeptical at first but learns to respect Miss Marple's methods.

Perhaps the settings. The new stories might be set in more contemporary times, while the original ones were in a more traditional, old - fashioned setting.

There are often the local police officers who interact with Miss Marple. For example, Inspector Slack who is sometimes skeptical of Miss Marple's methods but eventually comes to respect her insights. Another character could be the vicar in some of the stories, who provides a different perspective on the village life and the events that occur.

One important character is the local police inspector. He often interacts with Miss Marple and sometimes underestimates her but later comes to rely on her insights. There are also various villagers. Some are suspects, some are witnesses, and their relationships and secrets are important parts of the stories.

The first Miss Marple story is 'The Tuesday Night Club'. Others in the first 10 might include 'The Thirteen Problems' which contains several short stories featuring Miss Marple. 'Murder at the Vicarage' is also among them. These stories typically involve Miss Marple using her shrewd observations of human nature and village life to solve murders that often baffle the local police.

Another great one is 'A Murder Is Announced'. In this story, Miss Marple once again shows her ability to see through the chaos and deception. The plot is full of twists and turns, and Miss Marple's calm and collected approach to solving the mystery makes it a top - notch story.
