| Synopsis: |
The Later Years is the second bind up to the wonderful Miss Marple Collection Early Years Volume One. With it's beautifully re-designed covers and packaging this is a collection worth having whether you've been a fan of Christie's crime stories for years or are just starting to discover her now for the first time.4:50 from PaddingtonFor an instant the two trains ran together, side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth witnessed a murder. Helplessly, she stared out of her carriage window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Miss Marple, would take her story seriously?

Recognising in Miss Marple a natural flair for justice, Mr Rafiel had left instructions for her to investigate a crime after his death. The only problem was, he had failed to tell her who was involved or where and when the crime had been committed. Sleeping MurderSoon after Gwenda moved into her new home, odd things started to happen. Despite her best efforts to modernise the house, she only succeeded in dredging up its past. Worse, she felt an irrational sense of terror every time she climbed the stairs... |
