Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

Four cases, two from non-Marple books. In Sleeping Murder, Gwenda buys a seaside house, has disturbing visions and, with Marple's help, learns she lived there as a child and may have witnessed a murder. In The Moving Finger, siblings Jerry and Joanna Burton arrive in Lymstock in the middle of a poison-pen campaign that leads to suicides and a suspicious death. In By the Pricking of My Thumbs, Tuppence looks into her aunt's sudden death and a friend's disappearance from a nursing home, and teams up with Marple. In The Sittaford Mystery, an MP is killed during a snowstorm, and Marple ties the crime to his past in Egypt.
