麻豆约拍

Deceptively mild amateur sleuth, Jane Marple is being treated to a short holiday in London by her nephew

Staying at the dignified, unostentatious Bertram's Hotel, tucked away in a back street of busy Mayfair - here guests can indulge in comforts of a bygone age.

But Miss Marple begins to feel uneasy. Something sinister lurks beneath the polished veneer.

Why are so many major crimes associated in some way with the hotel or somehow implicate the eminently respectable people staying there?
