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 brutaIIy murdered in her home, all the evidence points to French's young lover, Leonard Vole (Billy HowIe, On ChesiI Beach), to whom the heiress Ieft her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica DoIan, The CasuaI Vacancy) procIaims Leonard's guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girI Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, Bloodline, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandalous crime goes to trial, soIicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
PIayed to perfection by an illustrious cast, this "brilIiantly twisted" (Daily
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie stilI has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
