Publisher's Summary

Two trainsSide by side for a brief momentIn that moment, a murder

Elspeth McGillicuddy is positive she witnessed a man strangling a woman to death.

But it was only the merest glimpse through a carriage window as the trains drew parallel.

She is the only witness, there are no suspects, and, most importantly, there is no corpse.

Who, apart from her friend Jane Marple, would take her seriously?

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘All crime writers around the globe owe Agatha Christie a massive debt.’
Peter James

‘Never a dull moment.’
The Times

Classic Christie.

I do so very much like Emilia Fox’s narration of the Agatha Christie novels. This one is a cracker. Wonderful source material superbly done.

I gave up.

I love Marple but she was barely in this one. Boo! Good reveal but I want to know who Lucy marries!
