Synopsis
Miss Marple is called upon to solve her most complexing case yet. Upon his death, financer John Rafiel asks her to solve a murder. The only problem is that the murder may or may not have taken place yet and the victim is unknown. All that he has given her is two tickets on the Daffodil Tour Company's Mystery Tour. It soon becomes obvious that the others on the tour were also selected by Mr Rafiel. Jane Marple, assisted by her nephew Raymond West, concludes that the case must be related to that of Verity Hunt, a young woman who, in 1939, was running away from an overattentive landlord and eventually disappeared. When a member of the tour dies mysteriously, she also realizes that some is desperate to keep a dark secret.

Differences to the Original

 * This adaptation is only loosely based on the novel, with the plot, motives and identity of most of the characters and scenes altered, and almost everything about the character of the murderer is changed.
 * Miss Temple and Professor Wanstead are eliminated, as is the murder of Norah Broad.
 * The characters of Madge and Miss Barrow are merged into one and the Bradbury - Scott girls become nuns.
