In 1925, a prank at an English country house party goes wrong when a sleeping guest is found dead. Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent refuses the easy explanation and sets out to find who arranged it.
Starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, Martin Freeman
A light, stylish mystery for people new to Christie, and not for purists who want the book on screen. Mia McKenna-Bruce plays Bundle as all energy, and Martin Freeman's Superintendent Battle answers with steady, measured patience, so their clashes carry the scenes. The prank itself is a bedroom packed with ringing alarm clocks, and that ticking comes back as the story darkens.
The first episode spends its time on the party and Bundle's bond with Gerry before the mystery takes over, so give it a little patience.
