Glad that Miss Marple was features slightly more in this one, though we always want more of course.

Aside from Hickson, the casting choices are a mixed bag. I rather preferred Marple's role in the novel. The story is from the perspective of Clement, the vicar. Maple is visited for information and perspective - it's remarkable what she can deduce from the sidelines just from observation. Here, she's squirrelling about and always manifesting in the thick of things.
