About the Show

Magpie Murders is a beguiling mystery-within-a-mystery adapted from Anthony Horowitz’s bestselling book by the author himself. With a solution that will both astonish and shock viewers, the plot of Magpie Murders revolves around the character Susan Ryeland, an editor who is given an unfinished manuscript of author Alan Conway’s latest novel, with little idea of how it will change her life.

Magpie Murders stars Lesley Manville (World on Fire, Phantom Thread, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) as editor turned amateur sleuth Susan Ryeland and Tim McMullan (Patrick Melrose, Foyle’s War) as world-famous fictional detective Atticus Pünd.

Lesley Manville  and Tim McMullan return to MASTERPIECE Mystery! in Moonflower Murders, premiering Sunday, September 15, 2024. When Susan Ryeland’s idyll in Crete is disturbed by the shadow of a murder committed eight years ago, can she uncover the secret hidden in Alan Conway’s book before it’s too late? Mark your calendars!
