Review:
Hugh Laurie ably adapts this standalone Agatha Christie mystery into an entertaining if convoluted yarn that doesn’t outstay its welcome. Will Poulter’s limited range is well-hidden behind the affable character of vicar’s son Bobby Jones and Lucy Boynton is charming as his friend, tomboyish aristocrat Lady Frankie Derwent. The cast is rounded out by Hugh’s impressive list of old friends such as Paul Whitehouse, Emma Thompson and Jim Broadbent.
