There's no trailer yet for Murder Is Easy but it’s early days. When one is released, we’ll post it on here. Behind the scenes, locations and more on Murder Is Easy Agatha Christie also wrote romance novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, and was occasionally published under the name Agatha Christie Mallowan. The two-part thriller will film this summer and is adapted for the screen by Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre and directed by Meenu Gaur (Zinda Bhaag, World on Fire). FIFTH SEASON will handle international sales outside of the UK, Americas and South Africa. Amy Gibbs is made a relative of one of the victims (someone who in the episode is known as Florrie Gibbs), and lives with Honoria.

The youngest of three children of the Miller family. The Millers had two other children: Margaret Frary Miller (1879–1950), called Madge, who was eleven years Agatha's senior, and Louis Montant Miller (1880–1929), called Monty, ten years older than Agatha.In late 1926, Agatha's husband, Archie, revealed that he was in love with another woman, Nancy Neele, and wanted a divorce. On 8 December 1926 the couple quarreled, and Archie Christie left their house, Styles, in Sunningdale, Berkshire, to spend the weekend with his mistress at Godalming, Surrey. That same evening Agatha disappeared from her home, leaving behind a letter for her secretary saying that she was going to Yorkshire. Her disappearance caused an outcry from the public, many of whom were admirers of her novels. Despite a massive manhunt, she was not found for eleven days. These brand new pictures feature David Jonsson ( Industry, Rye Lane) as Fitzwilliam, alongside Morfydd Clark ( Lord of the Rings, Saint Maud) as Bridget; Penelope Wilton ( Downton Abbey, After Life) as Miss Pinkerton, Tom Riley ( The Nevers, Ill Behaviour) as Lord Whitfield, Douglas Henshall ( Shetland, In Plain Sight) as Major Horton, Mathew Baynton ( Ghosts, Wonka) as Dr Thomas and Mark Bonnar ( World on Fire, Guilt) as Reverend Humbleby. James Gandhi, executive producer for Mammoth Screen says: “Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre has written an extraordinary adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel, putting the post-war, quintessentially English village under the magnifying glass and exposing the secrets that lurk beneath the picture perfect surface of Wychwood under Ashe. With the amazing Meenu Gaur directing, this adaptation will captivate and delight audiences.” It's very easy to kill, so long as no one suspects you. And, you see, the person in question is just the last person anyone would suspect."

Honoria drugs Bridget's tea and takes her into the woods, where the two of them begin talking. Bridget has not drunk the tea (though Honoria doesn't know that) and is ready for what comes. Honoria reveals a knife covered in Whitfield's fingerprints, and informs Bridget that she will kill her and leave the knife at the scene. Further, Honoria arranges for Whitfield to be seen walking alone through the area where Bridget's body will be. Instead, Bridget fights with Honoria. Luke realises that Honoria is the murderer and rescues Bridget. Bridget and Luke leave the village to live together as a married couple.Chase, Stephanie (February 21, 2023). "BBC announces new Agatha Christie murder mystery adaptation". Digital Spy . Retrieved November 14, 2023. I'm surprised by just how much of the book is actually present here, of course there are lots of differences, but the core of the story is very much here, most or the deaths are covered, and they didn't veer too far off the grizzly ends that Christie originally wrote. I actually like this adaptation, it's one that's grown on me over the years, early on I didn't really care for the modern setting, or the probability theme, but in recent times, I've come to accept them. There is a setting of the cozy village where nothing can go wrong but an evil is under play below the nice facade. Director Meenu Gaur says: "I am part of the worldwide club of Agatha Christie’s fans and followers and therefore thrilled to be shaping one of her works for the screen. I was drawn to the sassy, cool, witty, and not to be messed with women of Murder is Easy and blown away again by how delightful her characters are.”

I found both to be incredibly rude and selfish to Lord Whitfield. I don't care if he's arrogant, it didn't excuse their behaviour or Luke's flippant attitude with him about it. The romance itself was unbelievably cheesy and unrealistic. It happened too fast and made me roll my eyes every time it was brought up. Summary: I still think the book is smart and kind of enjoyable but I know Agatha’s potential and that she could have done a way better job. With mediocre characters, romance and a plot line. It is not the Agatha book that I would be recommending for people! No one human being knows the full truth about another human being. Not even one’s nearest and dearest.”

In this adaptation, it is Miss Marple who meets Lavinia Pinkerton on the train. After Miss Marple reads about Lavinia being killed, she travels to Wychwood under Ashe for the funeral. There she teams up with Luke Fitzwilliam to investigate the sequence of unusual deaths. Filming took place in Scotland in the summer of 2023 on the two-part drama series.

Filming on Murder is Easy is underway in Scotland. Murder is Easy will air on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK, and on BritBox International’s streaming service in the US, Canada and South Africa. Church Road round the corner from the Charity School - where Miss Marple asks Luke about lunch with Bridget Conway Murder is Easy" confused me a bit since I recall this being a Miss Marple television episode. So when I started reading about Luke Fitzwilliam and there was no sign of Miss Marple anywhere I was not pleased. But the story grabbed me and I found myself rushing to finish it. Murder is Easy, a mystery in the Superintendent Battle series, is an intriguing mystery with a bizarre motive. The idea that motivated the story is quite authentic even though it's rather fantastic. It's this imagination, weird though at times, what draws me happily into the mysteries of Agatha Christie. The novel concerns the efforts of retired police officer Luke Fitzwilliam to discover the identity of a serial killer, active in the village of Wychwood under Ashe. He learns that the series of deaths were mistaken for accidents by the locals, while the local nobleman Lord Whitfield attributes most of the deaths to divine justice.If I'm missing other secondary characters, it's because I didn't find them memorable and forgot about them. It deserves a remake, it deserves a quality remake, I know one is coming from The BBC/Britbox, I'm intrigued to see what they do with it.
