Naturally, if they kept the subplots and characterization the same as the book, this movie would be a miniseries. However, they did do a good job of consolidating characters and sticking to the main points of the story. Even if you have read the book you will enjoy watching the movie.
One of the plusses of this movie is the character that plays Edward Symmington (Michael Culver.) He is in several other English films and plays Prior Robert in the Brother Cadfael series.
One of the minuses of this movie is the Lisa Doolittle scene; it is totally out of character for "Aunt Jane" films.
You have the characteristic mystery and the usual (or unusual) suspects. Aunt Jane is confronted with a problem that may snowball into murder if she does not figure it out in time. But as everyone says, "Ask Miss Marple. She usually has the right answer."
