No picture of a train adorns the facsimile dust jacket of this entertaining whodunit, but
the starting point is when a friend of Miss Marple witnesses a man killing a woman in
a train. Who was the victim and where is the body? The accomplished Lucy
Eylesbarrow helps Miss Marple to solve these puzzles before the great detective
works out the identity of the murderer – and then pulls a stunt to trap him.
