Summary
E-book exclusive extras: 1) Christie biographer Charles
Osborne's essay on 4.50 from Paddington; 2) "The Marples": the complete guide
to all the cases of crime literature's foremost female
detective. For an instant the two trains ran side
by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared
helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his
grip around a woman’s throat. The body crumpled. Then
the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs
McGillicuddy’s friend Jane Marple, would take her story
seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no
suspects, and no case — for there is no corpse, and no
one is missing. Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and
intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the
Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the
mystery, and help unmask a murderer.
