"Everyone is a suspect."

When another guest turns up dead, Miranda must get to the bottom of the malicious plot behind the gathering.
What viewers say
Viewers who enjoy this country-house mystery like the beautiful settings and costumes, the 1930s atmosphere and the easy-to-watch Cluedo feel, and a few say they'd happily watch a sequel. It's more divisive than most: many complain of weak acting, uneven British accents, thin characters, stilted dialogue and plot holes, with a reveal that feels silly or unearned. Critics describe it as serviceable but underwhelming and old-fashioned, so it works best as light background entertainment for Christie fans rather than a clever puzzle.
Best for: Viewers who want a cozy period whodunit for an undemanding evening and aren't picky about plotting.
