I thoroughly liked this presentation of Murder is Easy. I found the acting to be of high quality & think that Julie McKenzie is an excellent choice for Miss Marple. I believe she will add some zip to the character. As for being reader of Agatha Christie's books, I'm sorry but I find her rather dry. I believe that movies & books are 2 different mediums & cannot be compared & to be fair to both, they shouldn't be. I look forward to more of this new Miss Marple. I hope other folks enjoy this new Miss Marple & will support the endeavors of both the writers & actors. It's really nice to have another drama program to be able to enjoy. Let's hope they keep it up.
