Weekend’s Must-See: New Miss Marple

The Agatha Christie specials continue on Masterpiece Mystery!, and this week Christie’s Miss Marple makes her return in the first of four new productions featuring her. In “Miss Marple IV: A Pocket Full of Rye,” a string of murders is committed by a killer who seems obsessed with the nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence.” And even Miss Marple’s former housekeeper falls victim. Julia McKenzie makes her debut as Miss Marple. • Sunday at 9/8 pm CT on KET1 and KETHD

July Debuts
