Starring Julia McKenzie in three new thrilling mysteries, as seen on the PBS Mystery! series.
Eyes sparkling and tweeds impeccable, Julia McKenzie (Cranford) returns as Agatha Christie's spinster sleuth in three new mysteries set in 1950s England. Murder is afoot, and Miss Marple is up to the task of determining whodunit. She may look like a pensioner, but she doesn't miss a clue on the way to solving heinous crimes, whether the weapon is a gun, a cocktail, or the color blue. Each story unfolds against a rich background of grand English estates, gorgeous scenery, and post-WWII period detail.
Julia McKenzie proves "delightful to watch" (Los Angeles Times), and she's supported by a stellar cast of veteran British actors including Joanna Lumley, Lindsay Duncan, Hugh Bonneville, Edward Fox, Caroline Quentin, and Toby Stephens.
