Title from container
Sleeping murder: Gwenda arrives in England, looking forward to her impending marriage and new life in a lovely old coastal estate. But almost immediately, she begins to experience sinister visions. Enter Miss Marple, who concludes that the bride-to-be witnessed a murder in that very house as a child. But how could she, since Gwenda had spent her entire life in India?
Based on the novels by Agatha Christie
By the pricking of my thumbs: Something wicked this way comes to the Sunny Ridge Retirement Home for Ladies. Miss Marple teams up with detective duo Tommy and Tuppence to investigate the suspicious death of Tommy's Aunt Ada and sudden disappearance of Ada's friend, Mrs. Lancaster, both residents of Sunny Ridge. An oddly doctored painting and tantalizing crossword clues lead Tuppence and and Miss Marple to Farrell St. Edmund, a village that seems straight out of a fairy tale complete with lurking evil

With her keen powers of observation and quiet common-sense analysis, Miss Marple uncovers the shameful secrets that sent a quaint village into turmoil
