It's the fifth one. You can find the complete list on a few fan sites dedicated to classic British detective shows. The Hickson series is arguably the most faithful to the spirit of Christie's original stories, even when they take liberties with the plot. 'A Caribbean Mystery' benefits from a strong guest cast, which really brings the holiday-gone-wrong vibe to life.

I had to look this up for my own collection. The Joan Hickson 'Miss Marple' series order is: 1. The Body in the Library (1984), 2. The Moving Finger (1985), 3. A Murder Is Announced (1985), 4. A Pocket Full of Rye (1985), 5. A Caribbean Mystery (1989), 6. Nemesis (1987), 7. Sleeping Murder (1987), 8. At Bertram's Hotel (1987), 9. The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side (1992), 10. They Do It with Mirrors (1991), 11. The Pale Horse (1996), and 12. A Murder Is Announced (repeat? No, that's wrong, the last is 'The Sittaford Mystery'? Wait, I think my list is getting confused. Let me double-check that later part.)

How does A Caribbean Mystery fit into Joan Hickson's overall Miss Marple era?

I've seen some online rankings where this places in the lower middle, and I get it. The mystery isn't Christie's most ingenious. But ranking misses the point of the Hickson era. It's not about which plot is the twistiest; it's about the consistent quality of the execution and the lead performance. On that scale, 'A Caribbean Mystery' is a full success. It delivers exactly what it promises: a competent Christie adaptation starring the definitive Miss Marple. It's like rating episodes of a favorite comfort show. The 'best' one might be the one with the most shocking plot, but the one you rewatch might be the one with the coziest atmosphere or the most satisfying character moment. This episode is a rewatchable for me because of its mood, its setting, and Hickson's rock-solid presence. It's a perfect example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

How does Joan Hickson portray Miss Marple in A Caribbean Mystery?

One subtle touch I adore: she listens actively. When another character is speaking, Hickson isn’t just waiting for her cue. She’s reacting microscopically—a raised eyebrow, a thoughtful press of the lips, a glance away as she files the information. This makes every conversation feel like a real interrogation, even when it’s framed as polite chit-chat over cocktails. You’re constantly watching her watch others, which pulls you into the detective process. It’s a performance that rewards close viewing; you see more details and nuances with every rewatch.

Where can I stream Joan Hickson in the A Caribbean Mystery TV adaptation?

Libraries often have subscription databases for films that patrons can access. Something called 'Alexander Street' or 'Kanopy' might have it. Ask a librarian! They have access to tools we don't even know about and love a good research challenge.

Funny, I always thought it looked a bit like the Lost Gardens of Heligan, but that might be another adaptation. The UK is full of these surprising pockets of jungle-like greenery. It's cool that they leveraged that for a classic mystery.
