This is so well acted.Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan are
great .What a clever story line, written by Anthony Horowitz

We binge-watched the series, having enjoyed The Magpie Murders and The Moonflower Murders. Another great series.

All a bit too confusing for me - but like others have said, I watch for the great acting and Leslie Manville’s gorgeous clothes. Great to have an older woman in a prime role too.

What's confusing?

Kandinsky Thu 08-Oct-26 19:39:41

Keeping track of all the character changes.

It’s a good watch, if you like Agatha Christie stuff you will like this.

I couldn’t get into it but really enjoyed another year.

I love the plot and Lesley Manville’s outfits but not keen on the turquoise colour drenched interior design.

I hadn’t even noticed that merlotgran ….but now I will.
I like everything about this series.

I had to watch the first episode twice to get to grips with the plot and all the characters but after that, I really enjoyed it. I watched the last episode on iPlayer last night and thought the ending was excellent.

I love her handbag (might look for something similar except I never use a handbag!) as well as her outfits

Totally brilliant.

Story line: cast: frocks and Corfu (sigh) and a lovely romantic ending.

Following the plot is easier after viewing the first series as Punt appears and disappears.

I'd say it's this shifting quality that makes it very different from an Agatha Christie:

a classy up to date whodunnit, demanding enough to need concentration.

Loved the series and the book, despite the tweaking of settings and people. Lesley Manville does indeed look very stylish!

Watched the final episode last night. It was entertaining, stylish, no swearing and beautiful settings. Lesley M wore fabulous clothes that suited her age. I’m rather envious of her slim figure.

Wyllow3 Thu 15-Oct-26 17:56:37

..And her house! The furnishings....garden view...
Sigh.

I stayed up late to finish it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it and so great that it’s definitely aimed at the older age group.

The fashions, scenery, memories of the fifties matched with current day style and design. B***er the plot - there was more than enough to fill my fantasies and yes…I did spot Atticus Pund’s nod to the late Kenny Everett. 😮🤣
