Tommy and Tuppence Beresford visit their aunt Aida in a nursing home. Aida cryptically mentions to Tuppence about a murdered child. The next day Tuppence is found dead in her bed. Causes appear to be natural but Tuppence's suspicions are aroused when a note from Aida mentions that fellow-nursing home dweller Mrs Lancaster is not safe. Coincidentally, Mrs Lancaster has just checked out, accompanied by Mr and Mrs Johnson. While pondering all this at the nursing home, Tuppence runs into someone who is intrigued by her musings - Miss Marple. Together, and aided by a painting, they set off to find the Johnsons and Mrs Lancaster, as they are sure they are key to a mystery and potentially a murder, or two.
Quite intriguing and engaging. Once again, the central character is not Miss Marple, but someone else. In this case, Tuppence, played by Greta Scacchi. Tuppence's sleuthing is very intelligent and interesting, though her conclusions are rushed (amateur!). Her character is an interesting one too, increasing the engagement.
Some fairly interesting sub-plots, including a love triangle, and you have an enthralling drama.
Conclusion is quite interesting and plausible too.
