A Murder is Announced, and3. 4:50 from Paddington (aka What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!)If readers have time for only three of the twelve Miss Marple novels, why not take in those that have been ranked among the best? Let's look at the three: poison pen letters are making the rounds in Lymstock; someone placed an advertisement in the personal section of the local paper giving the time and place for a murder, and an elderly woman saw a murder being committed on a passing train but no one, except Jane Marple, believed her.Librarian's note: this entry is for the collection "The Amazing Miss Marple."
