This is one of the weakest murder mysteries of Agatha as far as I am concerned. That a qualified pathologist cannot distinguish between a 13 year old schoolgirl and a buxom woman would have Sir Bernard Spilsbury turning in his grave, even though the body in the car was burnt.
That ruins the story for me - always has. Christie was not great in my opinion in her non murder books, often stretching the bounds of credibility to great lengths.
Outside of that the settings and acting were excellent, but Hickson is at the bottom of my list of Marple actresses which made this a long and tedious tale spread over three episodes as it was.
