There are hundreds of suspects involved here. Intriguing!īut when Carrie Louise’s dear stepson gets killed in the story, the discontent family is only the beginning. This is at an estate turned into a reformatory school for delinquent boys. In the story, Miss Marple visits an old school friend of hers – Carrie Louise. I’ll try to explain the plot as best as I can. But I’ve come across information that reviewers found the original book by Christie underwhelming in 1952.
I’m inclined to believe the BBC version is closer to the original book than the ITV version is. I couldn’t get a grasp of who the supporting characters were what was going on and how the mystery was eventually solved by the Miss Marple. I found this one a bit of a struggle to get through really.
There is an ITV version of this story, but quite honestly I do not recall much of it. ‘They Do It With Mirrors’ was shown on the 29th of December 1991, two years after ‘A Caribbean Mystery’ was made. It is presented as a 1 hour 40 minute TV movie, based on the 1952 book by Agatha Christie.
The eleventh and penultimate story of the ‘Miss Marple’ series with Joan Hickson is ‘They Do It With Mirrors’. Please feel free to comment on my review.
