El tren de las 4.50 / Después del funeral / Un puñado de centeno
El tren de las 4.50 (Miss Marple, #8): La visión fugaz de un estrangulamiento desde la ventanilla de un tren en marcha obliga a la persona que lo vio a presentar una denuncia a las autoridades, pero la policía decide archivar el caso al no aparecer el cadáver de la posible víctima. Afortunadamente, la involuntaria espectadora del crimen es amiga de miss Marple y la pone al corriente de los hechos.
Después del funeral (Hercule Poirot,#29): Richard Abernethie muere repentinamente y la familia entera se reúne después del funeral para conocer su testamento. Durante la lectura de las últimas voluntades, Cora, la hermana del difunto, una mujer un poco desequilibrada e infantiloide, comenta que su hermano fue asesinado. Poco después, Cora aparece muerta, por lo que el albacea pide ayuda a Poirot para resolver el caso.
Un puñado de centeno (Miss Marple, #7): La muerte por envenenamiento de un acaudalado hombre de negocios inaugura una serie de crímenes que se cometen según un ritual inspirado en una canción popular inglesa. La policía no consigue encontrar ninguna pista válida hasta que interviene miss Marple, quien demostrará una vez más su intuición femenina y una implacable capacidad deductiva.

Agatha nunca deja de sorprenderme, es increíble quien fue el verdadero asesino y lo deja ver en pequeños detalles.

Intrigante, redonda y adictiva. Todo está perfectamente hilado, y como suele suceder con esta autora, la explicación es mucho más sencilla de lo que parece.
