I have a new jigsaw to do. This one says ‘The World of Miss Marple’. Our son gave it to me for my birthday. I haven’t started it yet. Apparently, there are hidden clues to each of her television shows. I haven’t watched any of her shows so I won't really know which bits are from the series or not.
I have two jigsaws to do at the moment. The other one is of a pair of Shire horses in a brewery dray. I might be doing that one first. This one looks to have a lot of similar colouring. Did any of you watch the TV series?

I don't think so, but I know Miss Marple is a dectective in some Agatha Christie novels.

That looks fun. I am doing one now that has very unusual cut pieces. I couldn't even figure out all the edge pieces. Never seen that show

@wolfgirl569 I have a number of empty margarine tubs. I sit in front of the TV and pick out all the pieces of a certain colour, or it might be all the roof or wall pieces.

That will be a tough one since you have not watched any of her series May be you can take help from AI?

The puzzle should be interesting. I read a few of the Miss Marple books way back when but never watched the television series.

@JudyEv I will read almost anything... The only real exceptions to that are biographies and autobiographies. I tend not to read scary books, too, because they give me nightmares.

@DaddyEvil I find autobiographies quite interesting sometimes, depending who writes them. I think I have a better understanding of who they were and what drove them but they could really tell you anything.

No, I didn't watch the TV series. I haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in a few years.

@LindaOHio I have a 500 piece one that I'll attempt next.

@JudyEv Mine are all 500 pieces. It fits just right on one of our "TV" trays.

I don't go much on crime/mystery novels. I don't have anything against them but never seem to find myself reading them. That jigsaw doesn't look that easy, either.

Miss Marple is one of my favourite characters…..if you need any help with clues give me a shout !
I love most things written by Agatha Christie.
I gave a couple of friends who spend a fortune at charity shops buying jigsaws almost weekly. Sometimes they get annoyed when there are pieces missing.

That is a challenge. How long do you think it takes to complete it?

1,000 pieces...will be a challenge..but looks really interesting. I have read a few of Agath Chrisy's books...thinking atleast 1 or 2 with Miss Marple. Growing up I read Nancy Drew mysteries. Love Detective shows as well. Grew up watching Perry Mason, I spy, Man From U.N.C.L.E, and The Avengers.
The puzzles I do on line rarely go above 500 pieces. I just purchased a set of Mystery Puzzles. Nothing to do with Mysteries, but all the puzzles I have been doing had pictures that let me know what the puzzle will look like when I am done. THIS set of puzzles has no picture. You don't know what you are making until you get about halfway through the puzzle. I have done a couple of them. One was like a picture of a car show, with several pretty vintage cars.
