About this ebook

Two trainsSide by side for a brief momentIn that moment, a murder

Elspeth McGillicuddy is positive she witnessed a man strangling a woman to death.

But it was only the merest glimpse through a carriage window as the trains drew parallel.

She is the only witness, there are no suspects, and, most importantly, there is no corpse.

Who, apart from her friend Jane Marple, would take her seriously?

Never underestimate Miss Marple

‘All crime writers around the globe owe Agatha Christie a massive debt.’
Peter James

‘Never a dull moment.’

Ratings and reviews

think of all the people present in the big mansion.....think of all the relationships & potential relationships.... it's very simple actually...who did it....right under the nose. unfortunate that the woman who had seen it happen was away for a long bit of time. i love how Miss Marple has been made to be more engaged within the story. wanted to know... who Lucy would have married eventually?

This a good book but it has been overpriced here. Try searching other book with same name. It's price is very less and all that money goes to a non profit organisation. That guys are great. Buy from them instead from here

Book was literally too lengthy and was like so dragged my interest was dropping. Not really interesting

About the author

Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
