Publisher Description: June Whitfield stars as Miss Marple in eight thrilling full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatizations. In A Pocket Full of Rye, a spate of unusual deaths is linked to the nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence." In 4.50 from Paddington, after witnessing a murder on a train, Mrs McGillicuddy calls on Miss Marple. In At Bertram's Hotel, crime lurks beneath the surface of a respectable Mayfair hotel. In The Body in the Library, a mysterious blonde is found murdered in Dolly Bantry's library. In The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side, at a benefit held at Gossington Hall, harmless Mrs. Badcock is fatally poisoned. In A Caribbean Mystery, bored in paradise, Miss Marple finds her interest aroused by an old soldier's tale. In Murder at the Vicarage, everyone in St Mary Mead detested Colonel Protheroe--but who killed him? Finally, in A Murder is Announced, a startling entry in a local paper's personal column leads to a deadly shooting. These BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatizations feature eight of Miss Marple's most complex and intriguing cases. Based on the original novels by Agatha Christie, they are performed by a stellar cast.
