while not quite as good a a murder be announce and which be not only delightful but almost surpass the book and this be an excellent adaptation . and you know what and it be a huge improvement on the geraldine mcewan version . now i do not take pride in bad mouth the geraldine mcewan adaptation and two or three of them be surprisingly good and but others start off well but ruin by either a poor script and a confusing final solution or both . the geraldine mcewan version suffer from a plod pace and and both of the above problem and and i would consider second worst of the itv adaptation and bad be sittaford mystery and which even on it own merit turn out dull and confuse . this adaptation of the book nemesis be a huge improvement and it not only respect the book and despite a few liberty and but it pretty much rectify the problem the itv version have . despite the added character of lionel come across a rather irritate and more to do with how he be write than how he be act and and one or two moment of sluggish pacing and this be solid a an adaptation of a decent book . it be beautifully film and with nice photography and period detail and and the music a always be excellent . the performance be wonderful this time around and and make the most of an in general well do script and with joan hickson brilliant as always a miss marple and and solid turn from liz fraser and helen cherry and joanna hole and anna cropper . margaret tyzack be outstanding though in a chilling and move performance a clothilde . overall and well worth watch and good than the recent version in pretty much all department . positive bethany cox .
