Johnnie Restarick becomes Stephen's father not his brother and Jolly Bellaver is in love with him. As always, this part may contains spoilers! Firstly, Mildred and Gina become sort-of sisters: Gina was adopted by Carrie-Louis and Mr Gulbranson and then they had Mildred. Rutman's script remains faithful to the original story, but does make a number of changes. That's not all, when her step-son comes to visit, he is brutally murdered leaving Miss Marple with a very tangled web to untie.

She and her third husband Lewis Serrecold (Brian Cox) have converted the stately home into a reforming facilities for corrupt boys. Jane agrees to travel to Stony Gates, and meet her old friend Carrie-Louise, but all is not as it seems. Miss Marple meets her old friend Ruth van Rydock (Joan Collins), who is concerned about her sister Carrie-Louise Serrecold (Penelope Wilton). This story was previously adaped into a film starring Helen Hayes under the title "Murder with Mirrors" and for the BBC series starring Joan Hickson. It was first broadcast on 1st January 2010. Julia McKenzie's third outing as Miss Marple was adapted by Paul Rutman and directed by Andy Wilson, who has also directed many Poirot films.
