Deducing that the woman's body must be somewhere on the Rutherford Hall estate, Miss Marple enlists her friend, Lucy Eyelesbarrow, to assume a false identity and investigate. While on the premises, Lucy discovers a deeper plot as, one by one, heirs to the estate meet suspicious ends. 4.50 From Paddington was published in the US with the alternative title What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw! due to predicted confusion about the British title's railway lingo. In a review of the book, The Times stated: "Perhaps there is a corpse or two too many, but there is never a dull moment.".
