EE D Jul 24 Very stupid, trying to be very hype and trendy but ends up being very stupid & annoying See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Jul 15 4.5 stars; A murder story within a murder story. What a genius plot structure that the queen of mystery, Agatha Christie, could truly appreciate. This film is well cast and so well acted, as only the Brits can do. I had read the Anthony Horowitz novel a few years back, so I had forgotten many of the elements of the stories. What I really appreciated was how the two mystery stories, fictional and real, were woven together in the presentation so as to show their parallel nature and yet maintain both mysteries all the way to the end. For whodunit aficionados, the reveals were very satisfying in a Christie sort of way. See more Denise T @Dee1925 12/21/2024 Loved Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan. Really enjoyed the playfulness and the familial relationships in Manville’s back story. Liked the juxtaposition of the actors playing two roles, and how the characters played off each other. It was a fun cozy mystery series. See more Andy H @andyhh 11/11/2024 Entertaining enough, with some usual charming british quirkiness. Its nice enough, not very original except that it is two stories intertwined, a fictional murder story in 1950s and a current one about a missing chapter and an apparent murder (possibly) of a writer. Turns out the writer bases his books on real persons and events, so Susan the sleuth needs to read the book to understand what really happened, except the last chapter is missing. Well it tags along pretty well, doesn't take itself too serious, but in the end it is one of many many british murder series set in the country side. If you like those, you will like this one too. See more jill l 10/26/2023 Nearly everything written by Horowitz is unique and engaging. Magpie Murders has a great cast and is fascinating from beginning to end.
