LatestAs the village is shaken by another death, the discovery of a crucial piece of evidence blows the investigation wide open and leaves Luke Fitzwilliam questioning who he can trust.
England, 1954. On a train to London, Fitzwilliam meets Miss Pinkerton, who tells him that a killer is on the loose in the sleepy English village of Wychwood under Ashe.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the first Agatha Christie adaptation directed by a Black woman, Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre, who deliberately diversified the casting while keeping the 1950s setting.
The novel's 1939 publication originally targeted superstitious 'old maid' stereotypes; this version reclaims Miss Pinkerton's paranoia as legitimate female intuition in a world that dismisses her.
