Publisher Description
In Agatha Christie’s classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story.
For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case -- for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.
Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

Who done it?
No body writes an English murder mystery better. This one is God, just a bit contrived. Fairly good character development. Pacing a tad slow, but very much worth the read.
Brilliant
Quite a fun read! Even though I had already seen the TV adaptation, I didn’t quite remember all the details. This is a little bit Miss Marple by proxy, but it still packs a punch. Though it rather echoed the Poirot that I had just finished. All good though!
