Summary

A successful author of Agatha Christie-style novels dies under suspicious circumstances, with his last book seemingly unfinished. This leaves two mysteries: What happened to him? And how does his latest potboiler end? Book editor Susan Ryeland assumes the role of detective in the case. Meanwhile, Tim McMullan plays the fictional sleuth in the incomplete novel, whose investigation parallels Susan's.

Notes

Based on the novel by Anthony Horowitz.

Originally broadcast as individual episodes in 2022 on British television and in the US on PBS as part of the series Masterpiece Mystery.
