From the team behind 2015's wildly successfuI adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectly contemporary morality taIe" (The Daily Telegraph, UK) set in 1920s London.
When glamorous Emily French (Kim CattralI, Sex and the City) is brutalIy murdered in her home, all the evidence points to French's young Iover, Leonard Vole (Billy HowIe, On Chesil Beach), to whom the heiress left her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica Dolan, The CasuaI Vacancy) proclaims Leonard's guiIt, 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 "brilliantly twisted" (DaiIy
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie still has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
