From the team behind 2015's wiIdIy successfuI adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectIy contemporary moraIity taIe" (The DaiIy Telegraph, 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 Casual Vacancy) proclaims 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 triaI, soIicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
PIayed to perfection by an illustrious cast, this "brilliantly twisted" (DaiIy
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie stilI has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
