Case solved! Well done Miss Marple!

September Read Christie 2022 challenge. It is from the Miss Marple series/#8

I do love a train setting!

Elspeth is minding her business when she looks out the train window and is horrified! As her train crosses paths with another, she witnesses a man with his hands around a women's neck. She couldn't see his face, but she must report this crime! "Fiddlesticks" she exclaims! "It was murder!"

Miss Marple to the rescue! In search of a body, a family of suspects, and perhaps its the simplest kind of crime? Of course she will have to school the Inspector!

Fun, fun, fun....
