This one isn't terrible, but falls short the book, which is the best Marple book after Sleeping Murder and A Murder is Announced. Geraldine McEwan is good as Jane Marple, but I much preferred Joan Hickson, and I felt the actress gave her weakest performance of the character in this one. Here, her voice got a bit annoying. The casting isn't bad, but Joanna Lumley does overact. Simon Callow and Ian Richardson are fine though. The camera work is very nice, as are the costumes, though I wasn't a huge fan of the music. Nor with the weak script or direction or that the whole adaptation felt rushed. The adaptation stays fairly faithful to the book, but I hated it when they changed the murderers, and made up the story of a lesbian relationship...WHAT? Still, it is inferior to the much better 4.50 From Paddington. For a more faithful adaptation, see the Joan Hickson version instead.6.5/10 Bethany Cox
