Nemesis was the last story Agatha Christie wrote starring Miss Jane Marple, though not the last one to be published By casting Miss Marple as the Greek Goddess of divine retribution in this novel, Christie cабъсцrowns her with a final triumph, quite similar to Poirot’s heroic exit from his brilliant career of crime investigation in The Curtain The fact that this investigation represents Miss Marple’s final glory may be shown by the repeated references to her feeble and frail авпнкstate of health, especially in the final confrontation between her and the strong-bodied and strong-willed murderer.
