Editor's Note
MURDER AHOY!: There's something fishy aboard the HMS Battledore, a training ship designed to give young hoodlums a chance at new lives. When Miss Jane Marple comes aboard to investigate, she discovers that someone is training the delinquents to be better thieves instead of good citizens. MURDER MOST FOUL: Miss Marple joins a theatrical troupe whose specialty is death scenes. Convinced that one of her fellow actors is playing the part of murderer for real, Miss Marple sets out to pinpoint the killer and set a trap. MURDER AT THE GALLOP: MURDER AT THE GALLOP is based on Agatha Christie's AFTER THE FUNERAL. When wealthy old Mr. Enderby dies, his not-so-bereaved relatives gather for the reading of the will. There, Aunt Cora inquires as to the cause of Mr. Enderby's death, only to be silenced in the same fashion. MURDER SHE SAID: Dozing in her train seat, the English gentlewoman Miss Jane Marple awakens in time to witness a dreadful strangulation aboard a passing train. When she cries "Murder!" to the police, they tell her that she was only dreaming. Undaunted, she sets out to find the truth, even if it means uncovering an extra body or two.
