2. The Moving Finger - when hate mail attacks almost everyone in Lymstock, one recipient commits suicide. Or did she?
3. A Murder is Announced - the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette announces in the personal column the time and place of a murder.
4. 4.50 from Paddington - Mrs. McGillicuddy sees a man strangle a woman as trains cross, but only Jane believes her. She sends a housekeeper.
