"Miss Marple" is a crossover ficlet by trueriver based on Agatha Christie's series of mysteries starring the elderly spinster detective, Miss Marple, and Mary Renault's 1953 novel The Charioteer. The story is set some time during the war, and seen from Miss Marple's perspective.
Synopsis
Miss Marple is sitting in Millie Banks’s Tea Shop for her Saturday afternoon treat when she observes two other customers: a pair of young officers, one with a limp.
Background
"Miss Marple" was written for a Sunday Tea timed challenge (30 minutes) to the prompt "Miss Marple", and subsequently posted to maryrenaultfics. It should be noted that there were actually two stories written in response to the challenge, both posted to the same page. "Miss Marple" is the second one; and one must scroll down to it.
