2022 Lunchtime listen of the Audiobook read by Emilia Fox
A brilliant AC mystery that starts with a friend of Miss Marples allegedly seeing a murder whilst travelling on a train. Despite reporting it both at the station at which she disembarked and and also the next day with Miss Marple at the local Police station, Elspeth McGillicuddy is not believed.
Having to go abroad Miss Marple is left to investigate the possible murder. Having pondered on her approach she enlists the help of an acquaintance, young Lucy Eyelesbarrow
As I said when I read it earlier, this is an excellent story, well crafted and full of red herrings. This is also brilliantly read by Emilia Fox, who I gather has recently recorded all the Miss Marple novels.
2017 Group Read of all the Miss Marple Book
An excellent Miss Marple, with her at her very best, ably assisted by Lucy Eyelesbarrow. A great story, very original, with a large cast of possible suspects or are they possible victims.
Well woven as ever by the Mistress of Crime into a story with a number of red herrings and a wonderful denouement. Certainly worth a read.

"An excellent read so far of a wonderful story. The interesting thing is I can see the actors from the Joan Hickson version in almost every character"

One of my favourite Marples as well.

I rarely guess who is the culprit but here I did guess it right. Very good review.
Thanks Luffy, I really enjoyed the book although I read it umpteen years ago, I could still only narrow it down to 2, at least 1 was correct. Nix, yes it was an excellent Marple, definitely one of my faves.
