- Miss Marple joins forces with Tommy and Tuppence Beresford to find the murderer of Tommy's Aunt Ada.
- Tommy and Tuppence Beresford visit their aunt Ada in a nursing home. Aida cryptically mentions to Tuppence about a murdered child. The next day Ada is found dead in her bed. Causes appear to be natural but Tuppence's suspicions are aroused when a note from Ada mentions that fellow-nursing home dweller Mrs Lancaster is not safe. Coincidentally, Mrs Lancaster has just checked out, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Johnson. While pondering all this at the nursing home, Tuppence runs into someone who is intrigued by her musings - Miss Marple. Together, and aided by a painting, they set off to find the Johnsons and Mrs Lancaster, as they are sure they are key to a mystery and potentially a murder, or two.—grantss
- Visiting a demented villager in a stately seniors nursing home, Marple meets and teams up with Tuppence Beresford, who suspects foul play at the recent death of her hostile-grumpy aunt Ada, who doted military secret service agent Tommy, and left a message: she expected to have discovered a murder and if dead soon implore Tommy to 'use his intelligence'. Ada left the couple a valuable painting with four intriguing amateur alterations, cryptic clues, which Ada received from a fellow resident Mrs. Lancaster, who was mysteriously taken home just thereafter by a fictitious relative. After Marple dismisses the home director as Tuppence's prime suspect, the pair poses as house hunters in search of the painting's site in the Norfolk village of Farrell St Edmund. Widower lord of the manor Sir Philip Starke is helpful to explore the colorful past and fiery witch legend but blindly besotted with a spoiled-rotten girl. Scandal-banished vicar Septimus Bligh and his belittled wife Nellie have their own secrets, while US base soldier Chris Murphy is conveniently blamed for every crime by constable Ethan Maxwell who loves the same, pregnant barmaid Rose, daughter of Dr. Joshua Waters.—KGF Vissers
