Celebrate the Susan Ryeland Mysteries -- Magpie Murders, Moonflower Murders, and the upcoming Marble Hall Murders -- based on the bestselling novels by Anthony Horowitz. Go behind the scenes and hear from the cast and crew about these three MASTERPIECE Mystery! series, each of which offers a wonderfully imaginative set of characters, plotlines, locations, and of course, mysteries. Lesley Manville (World on Fire, Phantom Thread, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) stars as Susan Ryeland and Tim McMullan (Patrick Melrose, Foyle's War) portrays world-famous fictional detective Atticus Pund. Beguiling mysteries-within-mysteries, each series revolves around the character of Susan Ryeland, a book editor who reluctantly takes on the role of amateur sleuth when she finds herself involved in murder. In Magpie Murders, she is given an unfinished manuscript of Alan Conway's latest book featuring private eye Atticus Pund, who steps out of the pages to help Susan unravel the real mystery. In Moonflower Murders, Susan's idyll in Crete is disturbed by the shadow of a murder committed eight years earlier. In the upcoming Marble Hall Murders, Susan is reluctantly drawn into another Atticus Pund mystery, this time by a new young writer. The identity of the real killer is hidden in the book and once again Susan finds herself in grave danger.
