Miss Marple : Le Train de 16h50 (1987)
Elspeth McGillicuddy rejoint son amie Miss Marple par le train de 16 h 50. Elle est réveillée par le dépassement du train omnibus. Par la fenêtre de son compartiment, elle voit un homme de dos en train d'étrangler une femme. Miss Marple et elle se rendent le lendemain à la police, mais elles reçoivent un accueil froid. Aucun cadavre n'est retrouvé. Refaisant le trajet en train, elles sont convaincues que le crime est lié au manoir isolé de Luther Crackenthorpe qu'elles aperçoivent du train. Miss Marple persuade une amie de son neveu, Lucy Eyelesbarrow, de s'y faire embaucher comme cuisinière. Celle-ci ne tarde pas à découvrir un cadavre dans les dépendances du manoir. Quel lien existe-t-il entre la femme morte et la famille du vieux Crackenthorpe ?
