An announcement in the local paper states the time and place a murder will occur.When the victim falls, what follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, and a determined inspector grimly following the twists and turns. As the audience is left to sift through the clues and red herrings that Dame Agatha weaves, Miss Marple is on hand to provide a final solution in a dramatic confrontation just before the curtain.
