by Agatha Christie
dramatised in three daily parts by T.R. Bowen
Early summer, sometime in the late 40s. St Mary Mead - a very ordinary, very English village in the Home Counties. One morning the Bantrys wake up to find that everything is suddenly far from ordinary. They call their friend and neighbour, the elderly spinster Jane Marple, to help unravel the disturbingly novelettish mystery they have found themselves entangled in. The investigation takes them to a seaside hotel where some rather unusual people are staying.
