Young Gwenda Reed arrives in England from New Zealand, traveling ahead
of her husband Giles and charged with the task of finding the perfect
place to make their base. In the quiet village of Dilmouth, she finds a
house with immediate appeal. A few renovations will convert it into her
ideal home. Then things get very strange indeed. Wanting porch stairs,
Gwenda hires a builder to put them in only to find some old steps,
covered up by bushes. She decides on a connecting doorway between the
drawing-room and the dining-room, but discovers one already there, now
plastered over. When she opens the painted-over doors of an old cupboard
to find wallpaper exactly the same as she had imagined, she begins to
wonder if she is going mad. Is her mind playing tricks on her, or does
she unconsciously know how the house used to look? It takes Miss Marple
to realize that an unsolved murder is behind Gwenda's apparent intuition
but even she does not suspect the murderer will strike again. . . Agatha
Christie's final Marple mystery is dramatized with a full cast including
Julian Glover and Carolyn Pickles.
