Miser's lamp broken - might she investigate? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
miss marple
'might she investigate?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'miser's lamp broken' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'misers'+'lamp'='miserslamp'
'miserslamp' with letters rearranged gives 'MISS MARPLE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for miss marple that I've seen before include "Agatha Christie's detective" , "Agatha Christie detective" .)
