Miss Marple;
- is a ripe eighty years old
- lives in a little village named St. Mary Mead
- apparently (in other words, as far as i have read) has never been married
- lives with a maid in her little home to assist her with all the tedious jobs
- has known (met) a lot of people throughout her lifetime (this is very very important, as will be elucidated in the subsequent post)
- has a famous author-of-a-nephew named Raymond who generously foots all her medical bills and pays foranything she might need
- now finds it difficult to perform all the tasks she used to do such as first rate gardening, and therefore has to settle with knitting all day.

Oh, adrian, I love you, this character is completly different form your other ones, It's going to be really interesting in adding to your understanding of this genre.
Her life, and persnality seem to differ greatly from the other two sleuths and therefore she'll be great for comparison to those two. From what it seems though, I'd analyze her the same as yu did Holmes, looking at how personality, tendenciese, and past affect thier ability to discover the clues and solve the mystery.
Especially with already established sleuth's, which i'm presumming she is, they already have patterns and styles and to notice them and see how they hellp or in some cases hinder the character is also important.
