Which Christie novel was published in the U.S. as What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!?

The Christie novel published in the U.S. as *What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!* was *4.50 from Paddington*.

Agatha Christie’s mystery was first published in the United Kingdom by Collins Crime Club in November 1957. The story begins when Elspeth McGillicuddy sees a woman being strangled aboard a passing train. Her friend Miss Marple investigates after the police find no body, eventually linking the murder to Rutherford Hall.

The British title refers to a train departing from London’s Paddington station at 4:50 p.m. Christie’s American publisher considered the London railway reference less familiar to U.S. readers, so the American edition used the more descriptive title *What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!* The novel was also serialized in America under another title, *Eyewitness to Death*.

A common mix-up is confusing the book with *Murder, She Said*, the 1961 film adaptation starring Margaret Rutherford. That film title is not the novel’s original British or American title.
