There have been many complaints about the Geraldine McEwan MARPLE series, and how it leaves the plot unrecognizable. Perfect examples include NEMESIS, AT BERTRAM'S HOTEL, and THE SITTAFORD MYSTERY. I was preparing for the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised. I noticed only 3 major changes (probably a record so far for the series).
1) Miss Marple is included.
2) Say goodbye to Superintendent Battle-- he never appears.
3) A new character appears-- a girl with a dog. She takes on the role Macwhirter took in the book. (Don't worry, she doesn't end up with Audrey.)
The acting was, as usual, fantastic. Greg Wise did a great job as Neville Strange. Mr. Treves was perfectly cast, and so are the others. This is a true classic-- maybe even the best McEwan so far. You won't be disappointed!
