It was first published in the United States by **Dodd, Mead and Company** in **1952** under the title **\u0026quot;Murder with Mirrors\u0026quot;**, and in the United Kingdom by the **Collins Crime Club** on **November 17** of the same year, using Christie's original title[^1^].\n\nThe novel features the brilliant detective **Miss Marple** as she embarks on an intriguing investigation. Here's a brief synopsis:\n\n- **Setting**: Miss Marple visits her American school friend, **Ruth Van Rydock**, in London. Ruth expresses serious concern for her sister, **Carrie Louise**, and asks Miss Marple to visit Carrie Louise at her English home, **Stonygates**.\n- **Stonygates**: The Victorian mansion is now home to Carrie Louise, her third husband **Lewis Serrocold**, and various family members. Carrie Louise's granddaughter, **Gina**, has brought her American husband, **Walter**, to England to meet the family. Daughter **Mildred Strete** has returned home after being widowed, and stepsons **Stephen** and **Alexis Restarick** are frequent visitors.\n- **Unsettling Visitors**: During Miss Marple's visit, an unexpected guest arrives—**Christian Gulbrandsen**, Carrie Louise's stepson from her first marriage. Christian is a trustee of a charitable foundation established by his wealthy father. Miss Marple observes Christian's interactions with Lewis Serrocold and senses an air of secrecy.\n- **Paranoia and Health Issues**: Miss Marple notices **Edgar Lawson**, Serrocold's secretary, who exhibits signs of paranoid schizophrenia. Despite this, his condition is largely overlooked. Carrie Louise herself faces health problems due to old age.\n- **Mystery Unfolds**: As Miss Marple delves deeper, she discovers hidden motives, near-death accidents, and a web of secrets. The plot thickens, and the stakes rise as she tries to unravel the truth behind the mirrors and the mysteries at Stonygates.\n\nWhile some reviewers praised the essence of the plot, others felt that the latter half of the novel moved too slowly. Regardless, \u0026quot;Murder With Mirrors\u0026quot; remains a classic Agatha Christie mystery that keeps readers guessing until the very end[^1^].\n\nIf you're interested, there's also a 1985 TV movie adaptation titled **\u0026quot;Agatha Christie's Murder With Mirrors\u0026quot;**, featuring legendary actresses **Bette Davis** and **Helen Hayes**[^2^] [^3^]. 🕵️♀️🔍\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ac-container ac-adaptiveCard\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ac-textBlock\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEin Streich geht in Agatha Christies klassischer Detektivgeschichte, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eDie sieben Zifferblätter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e, auf erschreckende, mörderische Weise schief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGerry Wade hatte sich als Meister des Schlafes erwiesen, also beschlossen die anderen Hausgäste, ihm einen Streich zu spielen.
