This is my second Agatha Christie novel and my second Miss Marple novel.

In this one Miss Marple actually has more of a role than the previous book, A Pocket Full of Rye.

A woman is seen strangled on a passing train and Miss Marple's friend, Mrs. McGillicuddy is the only one who saw it and no one believes her except Miss Marple!

An amazing cast of characters is assembled including a domestic worker who is so good at what she does that she only hires out for short periods of time for the big money. Lo and behold, she is quite the sleuth, too, and does all the heavy lifting Jane Marple can't do.

All in all it's an enjoyable read with a lot of interesting colloquialisms and mannerisms from the time. It was a nice quick read with some interesting twists and turns.
