The Secret of Chimneys (2010 John Strickland)

 ..who directed episodes of Line of Duty and Bodyguard.

A German count (Anthony Higgins, who we last saw in Lewis) comes back to Chimneys (Hatfield House, also location in Paddington 2, The Favourite, Wild Bill, The Crown, Mister Holmes, Anna Karenina, My Week with Marilyn), forms relationship with the daughter of the manor Charlotte Salt, and is then murdered. Step in Marple Julia Mackenzie and Scotland Yard inspector who will soon be put in his place, well played by Stephan Dillane (The Crown, Darkest Hour, The Tunnel). A giant missing diamond plays its part.

With other recognisable faces: Edward Fox, Matthew Horne, Adam Godley, Jonas Armstrong, Michelle Collins (The Illustrated Mum, Two thousand Acres of Sky), Dervla Kirwan (Goodnight Sweetheart) and Ruth Jones.

The unlikely sounding Julian of Norwich was our first female author, writing in the 14th Century.
