One of Agatha Christie's most popular characters, the beloved Miss Marple, is brought to life in these classic BBC and A&E Home Video mysteries. Included in the boxed set are 4:50 from Paddington, Sleeping Murder, The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side, and A Caribbean Mystery. The delightful Joan Hickson is always entertaining as the prim and proper Miss Marple, complete with her elderly woman charm and perpetually clicking knitting needles.
In 4:50 from Paddington, Miss Marple's good friend Elspeth McGillicuddy witnesses a man strangle a woman on a passing train, and it's up to Miss Marple to uncover the mystery. In Sleeping Murder, the Reeds move into their dream house, where Mrs. Reed is plagued by the vision of a body in the hall. In turn they call upon Miss Marple to help them uncover this strange phenomenon. When the American movie star Marina Gregg in The Mirror Cracked from Side to Side is almost murdered while filming her new picture, she's fortunate to have the help of Miss Marple to sniff out the evil culprit. A Caribbean Mystery has Miss Marple, who's in need of rest and relaxation, deciding to holiday in the West Indies. Her holiday soon turns into a working vacation when it's time for her to gather the usual suspects. This boxed set is a must-have for the video libraries of all whodunit enthusiasts and Miss Marple admirers. --Samantha Allen Storey

"Why didn't we think of that?" asks Gwenda Reed as she and her husband, Giles, walk in the garden of their estate. A murderer had been captured the night before with his hands around Gwenda's neck, and she and Giles couldn't understand how they had been so deceived by the person.
"Because you believed what he told you," Miss Jane Marple patiently explains to the young couple. "It's very dangerous to believe people. I haven't for years." And so ends Sleeping Murder, one of four full-length ... Read More
Rating:  - UNBOX is unreliable and unsatisfactory
Enter commentI rented Miss M along with 2 other videos a week ago. I WAS able to download one purchase but UNABLE to download this & 1 other. I have emailed Amazon 3 times. The first 2 times I received replies re: ways to fix the problem so that I might receive the others. (I had no problem downloading the 1st purchase on the same computer with same settings.) The 3rd email I sent several days ago & have received no response. I have requested a credit to no avail. The UNBOX is UNSATISFACTORY
Rating: - Outstanding
I bought this for my mother for Christmas. She loved it. Joan Hickson, IS Miss Marple. Very well done.
Rating: - One of My Favorites
I agree with Miss Christie's choice for Miss Marple, actor Jane Hickson.
