Hide AdMurder is Easy follows retired policeman Luke Fitzwilliam as he meets Miss Pinkerton on a train. The woman lives in Wychwood-Under-Ashe, but she suspects that the series of deaths in her village are not as accidental as they appear. When she’s found dead, Fitzwilliam vows to find the killer before they can strike again.
Featuring Dame Penelope Wilton as Miss Pinkerton and David Jonsson as Luke Fitzwilliam, the all-star cast also includes Scottish talent Douglas Henshall and Mark Bonnar. The Christie work has been adapted for the BBC by Siân Ejiwunmi-Le Berre and some elements of the original novel have been changed. However, Ejiwunmi-Le Berre's take on the thriller promises to be just as gripping.
She said: "Christie’s wicked eye for class and hypocrisy has given us this funny, but devastatingly furious little book about injustice. I have a feeling she was experimenting, trying something different, and if we’ve done the same, I can only put my hands up and say we had licence to do so, from the Queen of Crime herself."
So if you're eagerly awaiting the murder mystery, here’s everything you need to know about Murder is Easy, from filming locations to where to watch.
