Collection of feature and TV adaptations of the crime novels by Agatha Christie. In ‘The Pale Horse’ (1997) Mark Easterbrook (Colin Buchanan) finds himself in the frame for the murder of a priest and sees no way out of his predicament other than to solve the case himself. In ‘Sparkling Cyanide’ (2003) the murder of influential millionaire George Barton (Kenneth Cranham)’s wife at a plush dinner party is the mystery at the heart of the feature. Who was responsible for committing the crime? In ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?’ (1980) vicar’s son Bobby Jones (James Warwick) is enjoying a round of golf when he discovers a dying man at the foot of some cliffs. His enigmatic last words send Bobby on a quest that quickly turns into a full-blown murder enquiry. ‘Tommy and Tuppence’ (1983) is a TV adaptation of the many adventures of the married couple of amateur detectives, Tommy (Warwick) and Tuppence (Francesca Annis).
This compelling collection of whodunits features some of Agatha Christieβs finest and most puzzling challenges The Pale Horse pits a young man with an eye for danger against a perilous coven of conniving and black magic. The champagne-sipping crime-sniffing couple of Tommy and Tuppence leads the way with ten stunning mysteries that need to be uncovered in the series known as βPartners in Crimeβ. How they came to form the International Detective Agency is further explored in βThe Secret Adversaryβ. Sparkling Cyanide revels in the coincidence of money manipulation and murder uncovered by Colonel Reece and Dr. Catherine Kendall. And Why Didnβt They Ask Evans? is the question to hand when Bobby Jones comes across a dying man with links to the Bassington-ffrench estate and a world of all-too tempting inheritances.
