Marple - The Sittaford mystery -

I didn't like it. It's the story of Clive Trevelyan (Timothy Dalton) who started his fortune discovering a lost tomb in 1927 and is now talked of as the possible new prime minister. During a seance session he's told he will die and indeed he is killed that same night. Straight to the final explanation now, or it'll take forever.
So, in 1927, in Egypt, Trevelyan had killed his partner, to keep the entire treasure. He also left his girlfriend Violet while she was pregnant with his son, because she was his partner's sister. He now had the money he needed to build his political career.
Miss Marple (Geraldine McEwan) found herself staying at his house by chance. Raymond was supposed to be with her but he couldn't make it, so she found herself alone on the train (well, she talked to Trevelyan the whole time) then alone in a cold empty house, so Raymond asked (either Trevelyan or his agent/friend/whatever) to take her in. There's a big storm outside, it's a terrible night, still Trevelyan goes to the local Inn (there's only one). Many other people gather there that night: all connected, more or less. Young Violet (Carey Mulligan) has been seeing him for a while and is now his wife (although widow before their first wedding night). Her mother runs away with the cook of the Inn, who was really the escaped convict from the Dartmoor prison. There's one of Trevelyan's ex business partners, left in financial trouble while he saved himself some time before, or something like that. A man who saw the murderer and tried blackmail, always the safe thing to do with a murderer *rollingeyes*. A woman who recently found out what happened to her husband (the partner Trevelyan killed in Egypt) and tried to kill him with the help of Trevelyan's servant, with poisoned chocolates, failing because he left without eating them and that almost killed Marple, if the bird (an hawk, I think) hadn't eaten one before and died right then when she had one in her hand. James 'Jim' Pearson (Laurence Fox), a good-for-nothing young man angry at Clive because he thinks he wants to disinherit him. He was almost framed for two murders and still drinks, the stupid idiot learned nothing). Emily (Zoe Telford), Jim's fiancée. Charles (James Murray), who was posing as a journalist, but really he is old Violet's son. Once abandoned by Clive, the poor girl was repudiated by her family and died alone. He was seeking revenge. At the end Marple explains the truth at home, and Charles admits to everything. Emily takes out her gun and he goes near her. She hesitates because she has taken to like him, and when he dies, shot, it's not too clear to me if she shot herself or if he shot the gun. Anyway, he dies.
Emily goes away with Violet, but I think they said that Violet will come live in Trevelyan's house.
