Publisher Description

Agatha Christie's ingenious murder mystery, now a sensational two-part thriller broadcast over Christmas on BBC One.
Starring David Jonsson as Fitzwilliam, alongside Morfydd Clark as Bridget; Penelope Wilton as Miss Pinkerton, Tom Riley as Lord Whitfield, Douglas Henshall as Major Horton, Mathew Baynton as Dr Thomas, Mark Bonnar as Reverend Humbleby and Tamzin Outhwaite as Mrs a quiet English village, a killer is about to strike. Again and Fitzwilliam found it hard to credit Miss Pinkerton's wild allegation that a multiple murderer was at work in the quiet English village of Wychwood – or her speculation that the local doctor was next in within hours, Miss Pinkerton had been found dead. Crushed by a passing car. Mere coincidence? Luke was inclined to think so – until another victim is found dead.
