Stars: 5
Review by: Mandy Apgar
My favorite of
the Miss Marple series. When Mrs Elspeth McGillicuddy returns home from
a day of heavy holiday shopping she happens to look up and see a man
strangling a woman in the train passing hers.
Nobody believes her of course, and what reports she made are put down to
a sleepy elderly lady. That is, until she consults her friend Jane
Marple and the latter enlists Lucy Eylesbarrow. Why? "I want you to find
a body." Lucy, a 30 odd brilliant gal who decided
to embark on a career as a high skilled domestic helper, takes a post
with the Crackenthorpe family as their property coincides with the crime
scene. Cranky, cagey, and dysfunctional, Lucy still gets to love them -
even when she finds Miss Marple's body in
an Egyptian sarcophagus. Marple of course figures out who did it, but
not before the body count rises some more.
