Oh, but now I'm imagining the crossover. A retired Holmes, sent to solve a puzzle in the village near his cottage. Only the young Miss Marple is there and she eviscerates him. Is it possible St Mary Mead is in the Sussex Downs?

I'm now picturing a version of All-Consuming Fire with Marple instead of Holmes. She would quietly and gently tear the 7th a new one.

"Oh, I don't think so," would crush him.

If its branch line goes into an interchange with Paddington as the London terminus, St Mary Mead could be Hampshire, on the west side of the South Downs, with Sherlock Holmes on the east side.

So a murder mystery in a grand house in a valley, with them both as houseguests.

We could do an adaptation of the Sleeze Brother's comic.

I remember reading this gorgeous book back in the early 1980s. It's illustrated by Tom Adams, who did most of the Agatha Christie paperback covers in the 60s and 70s, and includes a Miss Marple / Sherlock Holmes crossover by Julian Symons called "The Adventure of Hillerman Hall."

That sounds quite appealing: I'll keep an eye out!

While poking around for that image, I discovered the Crossover Universe Wiki. As you'd expect from their respective copyright positions, the Miss Marple list of crossovers is quite short, but the Sherlock Holmes one is enormous. Here's the former: thecrossoveruniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Miss_Ma...
