Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Joan Hickson stars as Agatha Christie's most beloved character, the prim and proper Miss Marple, in this classic whodunit. Why is Miss Marple's friend, Carrie-Louise Serrocold, being systematically poisoned? Miss Marple's trip to Stonygates, the rambling country mansion owned by Carrie-Louise and her third husband, Lewis, might shed some light on the mystery. Then again, it might add more intrigue to an already bizarre scenario involving an extended family and a reformatory for young criminals where violence seems to lurk just below the surface. When shots are fired in a darkened room and the victim turns up elsewhere, Miss Marple deduces the identity of the killer, but not how the murder was committed until she discovers the secret hobby of a trusted cohort.
