The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side

Lines from a Tennyson poem give Miss Marple a vital clue to a tragic murder. Agatha Christie's whodunit stars June Whitfield.

Following the death of her husband, Dolly Bantry sold Gossington Hall to ex-film star Marina Gregg and her husband.

When the glamorous couple throw a benefit for the local hospital, the grounds throng with curious visitors. For one of them, the day ends in tragedy.

It is up to sharp-witted sleuth Miss Marple to discover who was really meant to take the poison that killed the poor victim...
