Elspeth was not a woman usually given to hallucinations. But when she witnesses what appears to be a woman being strangled on a train and apparently she is the only one who sees it, no-one reports it and no corpse is found, she turns to her old friend Jane Marple to help solve the puzzle. Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young acquaintance, Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seems to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer. Description In Spanish: Mrs. MacGillicuddy es testigo durante su viaje en tren de regreso a casa- de una escena horrible: en el tren que corre paralelamente al suyo, alguien estrangula a una mujer. Al llegar a su destino, cuenta la historia a la policía y a su amiga Jane Marple. El comisario ordena una investigación, pero no descubre nada y acaba por atribuir los hechos a la imaginación de la anciana. Afortunadamente, Miss Marple presta atención a su amiga y pone en marcha su peculiar campaña detectivesca con el habitual y brillante resultado que la caracteriza.

I probably should have given the book a higher rating, but it started off slow and frankly, I don't feel confident yet that Christie didn't pull a rabbit out of her hat here. I ne...
I have watched the Margaret Rutherford movie adaption at least five times over the last two years, so I was pefectly aware who the murderer is going to be. But man, did I adore this book, or what? I really, really loved it. It was so much fun, especially Lucy Eyelesbarrow among the Crackenthorp crow...
This is narrated by Joan Hickson, who previously starred in the older Marple adaptations. Her voice is almost masculine, in the way that the voices of strong-willed elderly ladies can become masculine in later life. Miss Marple is deceiving - she is most emphatically not a fluttering, twittering o...
Just when you think you know what's going on, she rips the rug right out from under you. A true master.
