Veteran MASTERPIECE screenwriter Anthony Horowitz is back with an adaptation of one of his own original novels. Magpie Murders has a plot inside a plot scenario based on a famous mystery author dying before he could complete his latest novel. Whodunit? We’ll find out over the next few weeks, but for now, let’s discuss who’s involved in the mystery.
The prolific author opens up about Magpie Murders, his views on the murder mystery genre, and why readers should never believe anything the sidekick says.
Next week, we welcome three MASTERPIECE premieres, including two new series, run with wildebeest in East Africa, investigate some mind-bending medicines and much more.
