Magpie Murders: Season One
A beguiling murder mystery with a solution that will both astonish and shock viewers, the plot of Magpie Murders revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway's latest novel, but has little idea it will change her life.
Adapted from Anthony Horowitz's bestselling mystery by the author himself, Magpie Murders stars Lesley Manville (World on Fire, Phantom Thread, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) as editor turned amateur sleuth Susan Ryeland and Tim McMullan (Patrick Melrose, Foyle's War) as world-famous detective Atticus Pund.
Critic Reviews:
- " The season for cozy mysteries is upon us, and Magpie Murders offers two of them in one miniseries. " – Judy Berman (TIME Magazine)
- " I am happy to say that it is extremely good. Stars Lesley Manville, Conleth Hill, and Tim McMullan are compelling. " – Alexis Gunderson (Paste Magazine)
- " It’s a “Masterpiece” mystery, and so it’s easy to watch, not least of all thanks to the always engaging Manville and a game cast, some of whom appear in both time frames. It’s good, twisty fun. " – Matthew Gilbert (Boston Globe)
