What’s especially good here is the sharp and sad-eyed Joan Hickson, of course, Andrew Bicknell and Sabina Franklyn as Gerry and Joanna Burton, Michael Culver (as Edward Symmington) and Hilary Mason as spiky Miss Emily Barton. But Miss Marple’s belief that it was a case of murder is confirmed when a second villager is killed, and the spinster sleuth goes on to deduce the real purpose of the letters, revealed the identity of the writer and unmasking the killer. The coroner concludes that the local solicitor’s wife, mother of three Angela Symington (Elizabeth Counsell), took her own life after she is found dead beside one of the poison pen letters. This time, the vicar’s wife Maud Calthrop (Dilys Hamlett) summons Miss Marple to tackle a plague of vile, spiteful anonymous poison pen letters that are afflicting the previously apparently friendly idyllic English village of Lymstock.
