This time when the Tuesday Night Club meets, Joyce (Raymond West's future wife) tells the story of her time painting in the small coastal village of Rathole.
She witnesses a husband and wife go off on a bathing trip with a woman they ran into when they got to the hotel.
Without realizing what she was doing, Joyce painted blood stains onto her painting. When the wife drowns a few weeks later, Joyce wonders if she had some sort of a premonition.
Everyone else is stumped, but Miss Marple asks the right questions and notices the right clues.
Because of course she does!
Once again the fluffy old lady from he village solves the murder and impresses everyone in the room.
Recommended for fans of Agatha Christie.
Originally published in 1928 in The Royal Magazine.
Read as part of the short story collection The Thirteen Problems.
