THE TUESDAY NIGHT CLUB

First published in 1932, this was the first story in Miss Marple's The Thirteen Problems. It was the first meeting of the newly formed Tuesday Night Club, where each must tell a mystery, and they would discuss as a group. It opens with Sir Henry's story. Three people were poisoned at dinner, but only one has died.
THE LISTERDALE MYSTERY
The story was first published in a collection in June 1934, under The Listerdale Mystery. It was not published in the US until the 1971 collection The Golden Ball and Other Stories. This was also the first story in the collection. Down on her luck and living with family in a boarding house, Mrs St Vincent comes across an advert to rent a beautiful house with a benevolent landlord.
