Magpie Murders

Susan finally figures out who killed Alan, which means that she also gets to learn who did it in his final book, at last! The journey to the mysteries' solutions is not without danger, disappointment, and mishap, however. 

The author Anthony Horowitz adapted his own novel, Magpie Murders, for television, so the two versions share the same vision. But there are differences based on the differing mediums—we explain a few of them here. 

Atticus Pünd follows a hunch and determines how Mary Blakiston died, while Susan thinks she has figured out who killed Alan Conway—and it's someone upsettingly close to her. 

Charles needs Susan to decide whether she will take over Clover Books from him, as she continues to learn more about Alan's death—and the real-life dramas he incorporated into his final novel. 

Atticus Pünd continues to investigate the death of Sir Magnus Pye and his housekeeper Mary Blakiston, who opposed her son Robert's marriage to Joy Sanderling: a possible motive for murder? Susan continues looking for the final chapter of the mystery.

When a second death occurs in Saxby-on-Avon, Atticus Pünd decides to investigate. Meanwhile, outside the world of the novel, Susan searches for the final chapter of Magpie Murders and begins to suspect Alan's death wasn't a suicide. 

Susan Ryeland is a book editor whose best-selling author is a mystery novelist. The final chapter of his latest whodunnit is missing from the manuscript, a complication that becomes worse when the author turns up dead. 

Catch a first look at the upcoming Masterpiece Mystery Magpie Murders, an adaptation of the popular novel of the same name by Anthony Horowitz that stars Lesley Manville.
