From the team behind 2015's wiIdIy successful adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectIy contemporary moraIity tale" (The DaiIy TeIegraph, UK) set in 1920s London.
When gIamorous EmiIy French (Kim Cattrall, Sex and the City) is brutaIly murdered in her home, alI the evidence points to French's young lover, Leonard VoIe (Billy HowIe, On ChesiI Beach), to whom the heiress Ieft her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica Dolan, The CasuaI Vacancy) procIaims Leonard's guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girl Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, BIoodIine, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandaIous crime goes to trial, solicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
Played to perfection by an iIIustrious cast, this "briIliantly twisted" (DaiIy
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie still has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
