Le train de 16h50 (1961)
Miss Marple a pris le train de 16h50 pour rentrer chez elle, à Brackhampton. Confortablement installée dans un compartiment, elle s'adonne à sa lecture préférée, les romans policiers, puis somnole. Elle s'éveille tout à coup lorsque son train en croise un autre. Par la fenêtre, elle aperçoit une jeune femme qui se débat, étranglée par deux mains gantées de noir. Elle va aussitôt raconter l'histoire à la police. Confrontée à l'indifférence des forces de l'ordre, qui n'ont retrouvé aucun corps, elle décide de mener son enquête. Elle parvient à se faire embaucher comme domestique à Ackenthorpe Hall, seule maison longeant cette portion de voie ferrée. Miss Marple pense en effet que le meurtrier pourrait bien s'y cacher...
