Synopsis
Magpie Murders (2022) is a British mystery series you can watch online on iFILM. Editor Susan Ryeland receives the manuscript of her star author's latest novel, only to find the final chapter missing — and the writer himself suddenly dead.
Susan sets out to recover the lost ending, and soon realizes that solving the made-up murder inside the book is the key to a very real one. The series braids two cases together. In one, old-fashioned detective Atticus Pünd works a killing in a 1950s English village. In the other, Susan investigates in the present day, reading the pages like clues. Lesley Manville anchors both timelines at once.
Anthony Horowitz adapted his own bestselling novel for the screen, with Peter Cattaneo directing. The result is a clever love letter to the golden age of Agatha Christie — built for viewers who enjoy puzzles with a false bottom and don't mind doing the work. Stream Magpie Murders online on iFILM.
