Books with title What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw

An unabridged Miss Marple mystery from the Queen of Crime For an instant the two trains ran together, side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth witnessed a murder. Helplessly, she stared out of her carriage window as a man remorselessly tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Miss Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there were no suspects, no other witnesses...and no corpse.

This stunning baffler about a murder without a corpse is "the most delicious bamboozling possible... all adeptly managed to keep you much too alert elsewhere to see the neat succession of clues that catch a murderer we never so much as thought of" - James Sandoe "The great mistress of the last-minute switch is at it again in this story." -The New Yorker
