They cover chapters 8 to 17 (pages 90 to 207). Chapter 8 1. Who is Sir Henry Clithering? Why does Conway Jefferson want his help? 2. Who does Sir Henry recommend as sleuth? 3. Why does Miss Marple believe Conway Jefferson is interested in Ruby Keene? What does Miss Marple believe Conway’s son-in-law and daughter-in-law will soon want to do? 4.
