Yay! Another Miss Marple that actually features Miss Marple quite a bit! I'm always so sad when she isn't really featured throughout.
This one is definitely different and interesting and I enjoyed it. A murder is seen by a train passenger as another train passes by. Then it is up to Lucy and Miss Marple to not only find the killer but the body as well. More people begin to drop while they investigate and this one got a pretty good body count. I think this one was quite a bit of fun but it definitely still has the problem of having lots of characters and it being hard to keep track because I don't find Agatha Christie to be very descriptive of her characters.
I still enjoyed this one and was pretty surprised by who did it!
