This is a fairly solid adaptation, but I do think the book is better. There were a lot of things I really liked here, such as the really creepy scene, when Lucy Eyelesbarrow finds the body in the dark. I did like Amanda Holden as Lucy, and John Hannah as the inspector. Geraldine McEwan acquits herself well here, as I didn't like her in Body in the Library very much. The episode was beautifully shot, with a faithful solution, however I didn't like the murderer's motive for killing Alfred. Also in the book, the murderer kills another person, I won't say who, in case people haven't read it. I thought David Warner and Niamh Cusack did respectively with their roles, though I wasn't so sure about Griff Rhys Jones as Quimper, he just felt out of character. Despite the rather preposterous accent I liked Pam Ferris here as Mrs MacGuillicuddy, though she was underused. All in all, an enjoyable though flawed adaptation, with a 7/10. Bethany Cox
