4.50 from Paddington

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Emilia Fox

Two trainsSide by side for a brief momentIn that moment, a murder

Elspeth McGillicuddy is positive she witnessed a man strangling a woman to death.

But it was only the merest glimpse through a carriage window as the trains drew parallel.

She is the only witness, there are no suspects, and, most importantly, there is no corpse.

Who, apart from her friend Jane Marple, would take her seriously?

Miss Marple is a wonderful character though I'm glad she didn't really exist as that would have meant too many extra murders about! Agatha Christie at her best!
