[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 416142, member: 23"] Huzzah!! Yes indeed. It was your earlier mention that made me take another look at this one. I thought if you thought it was good enough to purchase, then it was certainly worth me giving it a go. It didn't feel very Miss Marple, though it was pleasant enough. Oh - I forgot to mention Miss Marple's drawing room set... very clearly a studio with fake flowers and shrubbery outside the window. For a few moments I hated it, then I bought into the stagey artifice and ended up quite liking it. In the Hickson version I do like the snobbery of the character (which I'm fairly sure is in the books as well). She's very old money and while looking at a various female corpses in the series she'd tut-tut about their "cheap finery" or "cheap and tawdry" accessories. Oh, I didn't notice this. Perhaps because it came out so naturally. Or perhaps it was one of those scenes where I was transfixed by Lola's boobs, which constantly seemed to be trying to escape in different directions. Yes, that's great. Didn't Marina relay that story to Inspector Craddock? She didn't specify the illness when she mentioned her special trip, but she certainly said that Heather had got up from her sick bed to attend. My guess is he then mentioned this to his aunt who put it together. [/QUOTE]
