Ruth Van Rydock ( Joan Collins) can't shake the feeling that something terrible is going to happen to her sister at Stonygates house. She informs her old school friend Jane Marple (Julie Mackenzie) of this, and the sleuthing spinster to pay a visit to this grand Victorian mansion that isn't just a family home - it's also a correctional facility for wayward young men.
And when something terrible does indeed happen, Miss Marple must face her most eccentric cast of suspects yet.
Julie Mackenzie is a very good Marple, observing and intelligent. She certainly sense the air of evil in the mansion and soon there's murder- the characters are really good such as the young man who says his father's Winston Churchill. Ian Oglivy is quite good as an ex-husband of the sister. It's a well told mystery that is neatly wrapped up at the end.
