Major logic flaw? SPOILER

When explaining the solution, Angela says that Rock knew Liz had to be the killer because no WAY would she not have told her husband about the notes. However, Rock was on record with the inspector saying he'd thought he could handle the notes on his own—he never said, "Oh, God, my wife never told me..." So if he never said that, and if we the audience only knew via a scene between Liz and Rock, where did Marple get that from?

I dunno. As much as I love this cheesy campfest, I do think Jessica Fletcher would've solved it more entertainingly!

I know that part. I'm asking how MARPLE knew that he had never been told by his wife.

That was a major problem for me, too. The whole ending depended on it, and it was not a reasonable conclusion on Miss Marple's part.

Well maybe her nephew told her? Why not, they were discussing the case all the time. Maybe even him didn't believe what Jason Rudd said (he wasn't really believable...)

This was a real cheesy Campfest... Only Taylor was a bit good. A. Lansbury is awful in this, her Jessica Fletcher is much much better imo.

Marple is right, the hubby understood that Liz did it when the letters came up. He covered up for Liz to the detective taking it up on him... The final scene was the only one worth where they both tell they love each other and act consequently...
