She only lets her guard down once - the editors failed to spot the first mention of MM’s village being St. Mary’S Mead and correctly as St. Mary Mead thereafter. But I can forgive Joan Higson anything, there is no other Miss Marple.
Classic Christie plot and I particularly liked the ending,

This short, typically Miss Marple case is part of the TNMC. It’s wonderful and a real tribute to the skills of JH and the skills of AC. Wonderful listening to in the car

Joan Hickson could read a dictionaries and make it interesting. Pair her with the wonderful Agatha Christie and you have a match made in heaven.

Great short story.

I have loved reading Agatha Christie books since I was at school, and I still do. This is another great short story about the wonderful Miss Marple.
