Joan Hickson stars as Agatha Christie's most beloved character, the prim and proper Miss Marple, in this classic whodunit. London's Bertram's Hotel is a well polished retreat where dowager duchesses, retired clergymen and aging generals can indulge in the comforts of a bygone era. But it's just a little too proper for guest Miss Marple she feels something sinister lurks beneath the hotel's genteel veneer. And rightly so!

When the Irish doorman turns up dead, Miss Marple launches her investigation and the hotel's respectable facade begins to crumble.
