Nemesis is a 1971 novel by Agatha Christie.Miss Jane Marple receives out of the blue a letter from the estate of millionaire financier Jason Rafiel, a man she knew briefly while on vacation in the island of St Honoré—that being the plot of A Caribbean Mystery. Mr. Rafiel has died, and he has left Miss Marple a bequest of £20,000, but on a strange condition. Mr. Rafiel, who knew Miss Marple for only a short while but saw first-hand her fearlessness, her detective skills, and her dedication to justice, has instructed his lawyers that Miss Marple will receive the money only if she solves a certain crime. The only problem is, the will says absolutely nothing about what that crime is.Intrigued, Miss Marple accepts the request. No explanatory details are forthcoming, but she does soon get a message that Mr. Rafiel paid for her to join a bus tour of notable English houses and gardens. Assuming that her ticket was purchased for a reason, Miss Marple goes on a tour. Also on the tour is one Elizabeth Temple, a retired school administrator who reveals an important piece of the puzzle. Some years ago one of her students, Verity Hunt, was once engaged to be married to Jason Rafiel's son Michael, but that the marriage did not happen.The tour stops in a sleepy English village, where Miss Marple gets another surprise. She is approached by a Mrs. Lavinia Glynne, who reveals that Mr. Rafiel, a friend of the family, requested that Mrs. Glynne and her two sisters host Miss Marple during what is reportedly a physically taxing part of the tour that requires a lot of hiking not suitable for an old lady. It is at the home of Mrs. Glynne and her unmarried sisters Clotilde Bradbury-Scott and Anthea Bradbury-Scott that Miss Marple learns the rest of the puzzle. The Hunt-Rafiel marriage didn't happen because Verity Hunt was murdered. Michael Rafiel is now in jail serving a life sentence for that murder. Miss Marple, assuming that this is the mystery she's been hired to solve, sets out to discover who really killed Verity Hunt.The last Miss Marple novel Christie wrote, although not the last to be published, as Sleeping Murder was published in 1976 (as Christie's last novel ever) after spending some 35 years on the shelf. Not to be confused with the Nemesis Series of superhero novels by April Daniels. | |

Comic-Book Time | |
| Nemesis (Agatha Christie) / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: Played with. Basically this trope is still in effect as Miss Marple is an elderly lady solving crimes over 40 years after the character was introduced as the Trope Maker for Little Old Lady Investigates. However, in this last Miss Marple novel she is said to be old and infirm, hard of hearing with aches and pains, and this is even plot relevant as it's the reason she temporarily stays with the three sisters. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The collapsed greenhouse behind the Bradbury-Scott house, mentioned multiple times, and how it was overgrown by vines and how Anthea once got a quote for restoring the greenhouse, causing Clotilde to flip out. Verity Hunt is buried under the rubble. It's noted more than once that when Verity Hunt was found, her face had been bashed in and disfigured. That was done on purpose, because the dead body wasn't Verity Hunt. | |

Sexy Packaging: In-Universe, as Miss Marple sees a book cover she dislikes. "Miss Marple looked with distaste at the jacket of the book, a naked girl with blood-stained markings on her face and a sinister-looking killer bending over her with a blood-stained knife in his hand." Agatha Christie disliked salacious covers and insisted on the right of approval for the covers of her books. | |

Delinquents: Michael Rafiel was quite the delinquent in his youth, involved in "various gangster activities", vandalism, theft, knocking women up, a couple of brief stints in jail, accusations of rape. All of that made him the easy suspect when Verity Hunt disappeared. | |

Psycho Lesbian: Clotilde, the jealous psycho who was Verity's parental guardian after Verity's parents were killed in a plane wreck, murdered Verity Hunt rather than let Verity marry Michael Rafiel. Clotilde buried Verity in her own backyard and then killed a completely different person as part of a plot to frame Michael Rafiel for Verity's murder. Miss Marple connects lesbianism in general with abnormality: | |

The Weird Sisters | |
| Nemesis (Agatha Christie) / int_9fb41dce | comment |
The Weird Sisters: the Bradbury-Scott sisters, definitely. Three odd, old women who live alone, who are considered to have gotten very strange after their ward, Verity Hunt, died, and who not only are examples of The Hecate Sisters, but are whole-character references to the Three Fates of Greek mythology. Miss Marple even calls them the "three weird sisters" and the "three witches of Macbeth". This becomes even more overwhelming when you realize that Verity's murderer, Clotilde, has her name based on Clotho, the one who spun the thread of human lives and controlled their fate; Clotilde killed Verity to prevent her from escaping Clotilde's control and living her own life. | |

Gay Romantic Phase | |
| Nemesis (Agatha Christie) / int_e33a31d0 | comment |
Gay Romantic Phase: Verity apparently went through a period where she had crushes on other women during her time at school. Miss Marple describes it as hero-worship of mentors and older students that the younger girls idolize, and a phase that many young women go through, before going on to marry and have children. Unfortunately for Verity, Verity's over-protective guardian, Clotilde, was a Psycho Lesbian who came back to murder her rather than let Verity marry a man that Clotilde didn't approve of. | |
