Lesly Manville is back, trying to solve a disappearance that is connected to a novel by mystery writer Alan Conway (Conleth Hill) and his creation Atticus Pünd (Tim McMullan). Pippa Bennett-Warner is Pünd's useful associate.
So we're also seeing the novel play out and thus the rest of the cast have dual roles: Danny Mays, Adrian Rawlins, Pooky Quesnel, Will Tudor, Rosalie Craig, Joanna Bacon, Thomas Coombes, Mark Gatiss. And the setting of it in the 1950s means we're in that cosy Agatha Christie period.
Horowitz adapted his own novel in 6 hour long parts. And it's an enjoyable ride.
