4.50 from Paddington
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In Agatha Christie's classic mystery 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one...and only Miss Marple believes her story.
For an instant the two trains ran side by side. In that frozen moment, Elspeth McGillicuddy stared helplessly out of her carriage window as a man tightened his grip around a woman's throat. The body crumpled. Then the other train drew away. But who, apart from Mrs. McGillicuddy's friend Jane Marple, would take her story seriously? After all, there are no other witnesses, no suspects, and no case — for there is no corpse, and no one is missing.
Miss Marple asks her highly efficient and intelligent young friend Lucy Eyelesbarrow to infiltrate the Crackenthorpe family, who seem to be at the heart of the mystery, and help unmask a murderer.

- premium: True
- source:
- content: One of Agatha Christie's better-known novels is subjected to the full BBC treatment, resulting in the usual excellence. The voices of the cast are carefully chosen, particularly that of June Whitfield, who plays Miss Jane Marple, soft-spoken sleuth-extraordinaire. Background sounds are skillfully interwoven with the dialogue. The plot is that two trains pull up next to one another for a few moments, and Miss McGillicuddy, a friend of Miss Marple who is on one train, sees an unknown man in the process of strangling a woman on the other train. At first, no one can find the body--until Miss Marple takes an indirect hand. No one fools Miss Marple for long. D.A.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

- content: Oh, the contentment of settling down with an Agatha Christie--the happy anticipation of mystery and deceit. This 1957 Miss Marple offers the satisfaction of her solution to the murder witnessed by her friend Elspeth McGillicuddy as one train runs momentarily beside another. Before her recent death, Joan Hickson personified Miss Marple in 12 of the Christie books adapted for television by the BBC. The series seen in the States on PBS and A&E-TV is generally regarded as the most faithful adaptation of Christie's Miss Marple books. On the television and in this audiobook, recorded in 1994, Hickson simply IS the mild, elderly, deceptively parochial lady with piercing insight into human wrongdoing. She also manages to inhabit the other characters in this book beautifully, not so much by creating voices, as by variations in diction and speech rhythm. Her voice is old, yet strong, and her pacing is superb. Rarely have Christie's quiet humor and wry characterizations been so clearly voiced. A.C.S. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
