For a few seconds, the two trains ran parallel to each other. In this horrifying moment, Elizabeth is convinced that she has witnessed a murder. What else could it be? A man brutally tightens his grip on a woman's throat. And Elizabeth could only look in vain through the carriage window - the woman's body was limp. And the train also drove far away.
Elizabeth immediately called the police. However, except for her good friend Miss Jane Marple, who else would take her words seriously? After all, there were no suspects, no other witnesses, and, no body.

Who did Lucy marry? Agatha's secret notes say that Cedric married Lucy. In the latter two film and television adaptations, one is married to Brian and the other is married to Craddock. I didn't think Lucy's love line was anything special at first, but now I suddenly find it funny. Because it doesn't satisfy some people's preferences, I even changed the original CP. So why can't Lucy stay single? Marple is a wise old lady, why can't Lucy be too?
It's a pretty good novel. It starts with a murder that happened on a train. At first, I thought it was confusing. I thought the murderer might not have killed anyone at the time, or the witness had been moved to the carriage, otherwise the body would not be found. But later on, I really overthought it, and it's not that complicated. It feels very ironic that the story unfolds from a murder case to a family. Except for Emma, the people in this family are very cold and they only care about money and interests. . . . Maybe it's because I've watched too much Conan and thought the murderer would be cunning and have many twists and turns, so the ending was too simple, which made me a little disappointed. Finally, as for who Lucy chose, I still prefer Cradock. After all, he is a police officer with a stable income, not too stupid and has a good background. On the contrary, Cedric, the second oldest child in the family, is too cold and arrogant😤
The plot of this book is so exciting! Agatha Christie is such a master, she created suspense and tension so well. I felt like Elizabeth in the book, who also fell into endless doubt and fear after witnessing the murder. Moreover, I particularly like the character of Miss Jane Marple, her wit and insight are admirable. This book made me think about marriage. Getting married really requires courage and cannot be hesitant.
A complicated version of a classic case. The relationship between witnesses, scenes and characters, as well as the murderer's deliberate guidance, make the mystery confusing. The characters in this story are very vivid, and everyone (who is alive at the end) is interesting - except for the murderer of course!
In the end I can understand why Craddock was chosen. . . . I don't care,,,, md,,, I really beg you if you don't want a pigsty
It's very interesting. A murder occurred on a normally sparse day. It feels very simple, but I don't know anything.
I don't see Lucy falling in love with the police in the book either! But I guessed the murderer correctly.
Oh, not much to say, very clever setting and murder! So pretty! I personally think this is a very cute article! Really cute…
