"One of the most ingeniously contrived of all her murder stories. it is hard not to be impressed." - Times Literary Supplement (London) "Professional detectives are no match for elderly spinsters. "Genuine old-crusted Christie." - Time magazine "Agatha Christie has made it awfully hard for the rest of us, because whenever we think of a clever twist-she's already done it." - Elizabeth Peters, New York Times bestselling author of the Amelia Peabody novels Amid rumors of scandal, she baits a clever trap to catch a ruthless killer.
The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple into their home to investigate. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry? She is wearing an evening dress and heavy makeup, which is now smeared across her cheeks. They Do It with Mirrors While staying at an old schoolfriends house, Miss Marple is faced with a murder mystery.
The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. Miss Marple has been sent to Barbados on holiday by her nephew Raymond West.
That somehow seems not to matter, it's a gorgeous production and well worth watching.Now with a beautiful new series look, the iconic Miss Marple must investigate the case of a girl found dead in A gatha Christie's classic mystery. It is very long, they certainly put as much of the book in it as possible, it's very faithful, possibly guilty of being a little slow in parts. Miss Marple Bundle: The Murder at the Vicarage, The Body in the Library, and The Moving Finger / Digital original - eBook (9780062083678) by Agatha. Trudie Styler is a brilliant Josie Turner, she helps to make the ending quite brilliant, all in a look. David Horovitch played Slack so well, I can see why he was made a recurring character, I'm sure he was overused but I get why. Other performances I liked, firstly Gwen Watford, she is delightful as the ditsy Dolly Bantry, so excited that a body has been found, she clearly loved a bit of drama, I'm so glad she returned in the final episode too. She is truly wonderful, even after her introduction you just know that she is Miss Marple. Straight away Joan Hickson shows us why she is the definitive Miss Marple, endorsed by Agatha Christie herself, she'd play the role from 1984 - 1992 and make it her own. This version mirrors the book in so many ways, it's a truly faithful adaptation, as the saying goes 'if it ain't broke don't fix it.' I understand that a few elements are missed, but it would have been impractical to attempt to squeeze it all in. Somehow she seems unreal, Dolly Bantry seeks the help of her friend Jane Marple, and the pair seek to unravel the mystery, enquiries lead them to the seaside. The sleepy peaceful home of the Bantry's is woken to the shattering news that the body of a young platinum blond woman has been found in the Library.
