Miss Jane Marple is visiting her friend Dolly Bantry at Gossington Hall. One evening the dead body of a young woman is found inside the library of the house. Nobody in the house knows her. Police investigations ascertain that she is a dancer at the nearby hotel. Miss Marple investigates.
Having watched over 20 of the movies in the Agatha Christie's Poirot series, this seems a bit dry. The engagement is more limited than Poirot, and it's less colourful. Still reasonably interesting though.
Can't fault the casting though. Geraldine McEwan is solid as Miss Marple but the supporting cast is an all-star affair: Joanna Lumley, Tara Fitzgerald, Ian Richardson, James Fox, Simon Callow, Ben Miller (of Armstrong and Miller).
