Agatha Cristies detective Miss Marple takes centre stage in a story of suspense and mystery. She aims to solve the crime of the dead stranger dressed in an evening gown. Penguin paperbacks were the brainchild of Allen Lane. Frustrated at the very limited choice of reading material at a station bookstall, Lane decided that good quality contemporary fiction should be made available at an attractive price, and sold not just in traditional bookshops, but also in railway stations, tobacconists and chain stores. The first Penguin paperbacks appeared in the summer of 1935. They were colour coded (orange for fiction, blue for biography, green for crime and so on) and cost just 6p, the same price as a packet of cigarettes.
