Synopsis
Mystery / Casting: 5m, 7f / Scenery: Interior The announcement in the local paper states time and place of a murder to occur in Miss Blacklock's Victorian house.
The victim is not one of several occupants, temporary and permanent, but an unexpected and unknown visitor.
What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined Inspector grimly following the twists and turns, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution at some risk to herself in a dramatic confrontation scene just before the final curtain.
