June Whitfield is a fantastic Marple

Love these full scale reenactments. They're full of the atmosphere of English country life and our favorite sleuth is in her element.

Terrific but short

This is a first-rate adaptation of one of Agatha Christie’s best novels. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Alas, it was pretty short for the money. Oh well. It made a dark January after known enjoyable.

Great BBC radio audiobook

Like the voice of June Whitfield as Miss Marple. All of these Christie BBC radio programs have been excellent with music and sound in the background.

Enjoyed!

I typically do bot care for dramatizations of Christie's works as they are often overly dramatic and the music too loud. This one was neither. It was just fine. I enjoyed the story and the the dramatization both. #Mystery #AmateurDetective #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes
