I thought that this was one of the better episodes as it has a much deeper and complex plot than some of the others. The characters are strong, particularly Dolly, Arthur, Adelaide and Josie and the plot keeps you guessing right until the end. I actually prefer the new Marples to the older ones because I find that Geraldine McEwan is so much more of a warm, likable character in the way she portrays Miss Marple.Why so many criticisms? I understand that if you read the book first then the movie may fall short to your standards, especially with the added twist, however it is still an extremely good thing to watch with just enough humour and a great array of stars including Joanna Lumley, David Walliams and James Fox.
Obviously there are some details of the killers plot that you have to work out for yourself. For example, how the body left the hotel avoiding detection. Some gaps you will have to fill for yourself however I like that about an episode. It makes you think more about the actual scheme and not rely on Miss Marple to give you all of the answers.
I really enjoyed it and is definitely a good one. 9/10
