Mrs. Dolly Bantry (Gwen Watford) tries to inform her husband of the reported body. Hert husband (Moray Watson) accuses her of imagining this due to reading trashy books in the bed at night.
As usual, Jane (Joan Hickson) is always in the right place to view the potential suspects. Clues are everywhere; yet who would mix bodies and books?
The runtime seems a bit long for the Mrs. Marple series at 151 minutes. This is one of 12 feature length presentations. As it was made for TV (1984), I suspect that this video is a composite of a series. And there are places where it takes leaps to different situations without any transition.
You can guess the plot in general, but the details are surprising. It is wrapped up so quickly that you will need to run the ending a few times to put it all in perspective.
