Try and imagine the concept of a Poirot novel taking place inside an episode of Midsomer Murders, that's about the closest description I can think of to describe this quirky, but enjoyable series.
Anthony Horovitz has written some great material, and adapted One great shows, including some of the best loved Agatha Christie dramas.
It's a little confusing at times, but it all comes together well, and even if you don't fully understand events, you will during the conclusion.
It looks amazing, it's a wonderful looking production, with some fabulous clothes, sets and cars. Nice music also, it's not intrusive.
Personally I preferred the scenes set in the past, the crimes in the book were really engaging, I'd be happy to watch a series of Atticus Pund mysteries. In the style of Poirot he also gets his big moment to unravel the mystery.
Will we get The Moonflower Murders? I hope so, that's another cracking book that would adapt well.
If you enjoy the world of Agatha Christie and Francis Durbridge, then you may just enjoy this series, 8/10.
