По дороге в гости к мисс Марпл ее подруга из окна поезда увидела, как совершилось убийство. Полиция трупа не нашла, но мисс Марпл, изучив карту местности, поняла, куда примерно делось тело женщины - его выкинули из поезда, а затем спрятали. В ближайшем к путям прохождения поезда поместье под описание преступника (виденного, правда, только со спины) подходят несколько человек. Кто из них? Почему? Кто жертва и где, собственно говоря, тело? Как обычно, Скотленд-Ярд собирает факты и улики и приходит к неверным выводам, а мисс Марпл безошибочно указывает на злодея, правда, ей в этом помогает одна из ее приятельниц, устроившаяся в поместье "прислугой за все". Метод расследования милой пожилой леди прост: она убеждена в том, что в ее деревушке Сент-Мери-Мид можно встретить все типы характеров, а человечество не выдумало никаких новых мотивов преступлений, они все те же - зависть, жадность, деньги. Приведенные в дополнение к неадаптированному тексту словарик и комментарии помогут любителям детектива разобраться в хитросплетениях сюжета и получить удовольствие от новой встречи с героями Агаты Кристи.
