'''Miss Marple''' is, after [[Hercule Poirot]], the second of [[Agatha Christie]]'s big two detective characters. She was second to Poirot both chronologically, making her debut seven years after him, and in the affections of the public, but it is reported that of the two of them Christie herself much preferred Miss Marple.
She made her first appearance in the short story "The Tuesday Night Club" in 1927, and first featured in a novel in 1930, with ''The Murder at the Vicarage''. In all, she appeared in 12 novels and 24 short stories.

Of several television adaptations, the most faithful and best regarded is the BBC's ''Miss Marple'' series (1984-1992) of telefilms, starring Joan Hickson. More recently, ITV's ''Marple'' starring Geraldine McEwan and Julia McKenzie (2004-present) is a much looser adaptation, as with the Rutherford series frequently sharing only the titles with the original novels.
