Eyebrows arch higher when the dashing Wimbledon tennis star Nevile Strange arrives with his attractive but high maintenance new wife. Nevile's first wife is also attending.

Title from container
Nemesis: Miss Marple faces her greatest challenge yet when she receives a request from an old friend, the recently deceased Mr. Rafiel, to investigate a "possible crime." But to complicate the matters, his instructions don't tell her what the crime is. Instead, she has been told to look for clues on a mystery bus tour, a trip Mr. Rafiel's instructions says might be dangerous
Originally broadcast on the PBS "Mystery!" series in 2006-2007
At Betram's Hotel: Revisiting a glamorous London hotel that she remembers fondly from her girlhood, Miss Marple finds that nothing has changed, including the atmosphere of danger beneath its highly polished veneer. She observes various other guests, including fortune hunters and other unsavory characters, and comes to realize the truth about the hotel is even darker than she had imagined
Special features: Photo gallery; Agatha Christie bio; cast filmographies
Ordeal by innocence: Delighted to be invited to the wedding of Gwenda, her former housemaid, Miss Marple travels to the isolated island where Gwenda lives with her fiancé, Leo Argyle, and his grown children. Though they are happy for their father, the Argyles are still reeling from the murder of their mother and the execution of their brother Jacko for the crime. Then a stranger arrives who exonerates Jacko, leading all to realize that the real murderer is still in their midst
