Part of the Mavenhill Classics series, this annotated edition of The Murder at the Vicarage pairs a landmark mystery with clear, chapter-by-chapter summaries that illuminate the plot, characters and themes as the story unfolds.

In the quiet village of St Mary Mead, nothing much ever happens, or so it seems. But beneath polite conversations and orderly routines lie old grudges, private ambitions and carefully concealed truths. When a man widely disliked for his arrogance and cruelty is found shot dead in the vicarage study, the shock ripples through the community.
