  • 4 months ago
3rd and final part of the Joan Hickson Miss Marple mystery from 1984, which was broadcast on consecutive nights from 26-28 December. In this final part, Inspector Slack finds he has two mysteries on his hands after the body of missing schoolgirl Pamela Reeve is found in a stolen burnt out car, along with the original murder of Ruby Keene, found dead in the library of Gossington Hall belonging to Colonel and Dolly Bantry. Gossip in the village links the colonel with the case, but Slack begins to suspect it may be more closer to home and plots an arrest. But Miss Marple fears that Slack may have the wrong person, and that very soon yet another murder is about to be attempted...
