4.50 From Paddington
by Agatha Christie
While traveling on the 4:50 from Paddington, Elspeth McGillicuddy witnesses a shocking crime through the window of a parallel train: a man remorselessly strangling a woman. Despite her immediate report to a skeptical ticket collector and the stationmaster, no body is found and no missing persons reports match her story. Convinced of what she saw, Mrs. McGillicuddy turns to her sharp-witted friend, Miss Jane Marple, to uncover a killer who seems to have vanished into thin air.
