When wealthy old mr. Enderby dies, his not-so bereaved relatives gather for the reading of the will. There amid the money and mahogany, aunt cora asks, "he was murdered, wasn't he?". The family tut-tuts such a distressing notion...until cora is murdered and the tut-tuts turn to "who's next?" Margaret Rutherford is back on form and on the trail as sleuthing miss jane marple in this witty whodunit based on agatha christie's after the funeral. As in all rutherford marple mysteries, she's ably supported by Stringer Davis as the town librarian and charles tingwell as inspector craddock.
