The Murder At The Vicarage, When a despised magistrate is found shot to death in the library of the local vicarage, his wife and her lover, a portrait painter living on the church grounds, both confess to the crime. Miss Marple’s keen powers of observation clear both of them of the crime, but other suspects abound. Included are the murdered man’s daughter, who posed for the artist, a neurotic cleric who’s embezzled church funds, the local doctor, an ex-convict who poached on the magistrate’s land, and a missionary’s enigmatic widow who argued with him the day before he was killed. An exasperated Inspector Slack must reluctantly accept help from the analytical Miss Marple.

One of the better Joan Hickson adaptations
The Murder At The Vicarage, I really enjoyed this adaptation of “The Murder at the Vicarage”. It is not as good as the delightful “A Murder is Announced” but it is very enjoyable, and not only one of the better Joan Hickson adaptations, but a considerable improvement over the Geraldine McEwan version(though that was one of the better adaptations of that series I feel). The pace is solid, the pace was a problem I had with “They Do it With Mirrors” which is my least favourite of the series, and the story is well structured. There is a nice witty script and lovely production values. The acting is very good in general, the only weaknesses for me being that James Hazeldine underplaying his role of Lawrence Redding and Polly Adams a little too stiff as Anne. Joan Hickson really makes this work though, with a simple charm and wisdom she is for me the best Miss Marple, and out of the supporting cast I loved Cheryl Campbell as Griselda, a delightful performance from a great actress. I liked the music too, really pleasant to listen to. Overall, I really enjoyed this adaptation.
