Magpie Murders, a new PBS mystery series, has recently received a new trailer from Masterpiece on PBS. Make yourself comfortable with some wine, some blankets and an eagerness for red herrings, since this mystery series promises to keep you entertained for hours.
Anthony Horowitz’s 2016 novel of the same name served as the inspiration for the television show. Upon its debut, the work was widely praised for its plot-within-a-plot structure, which many praised. The mystery novels written by British novelist Anthony Horowitz are among his most well-known works.
He is the author of a number of Sherlock Holmes books as well as a number of works for young adults. Magpie Murders chronicles the story of Alan Conway’s editor, Susan Ryeland, who is murdered in the book. In the Arthur Pünd series by Conway, a pernickety investigator, Pünd investigates a wide variety of crimes and mysteries. To meet the demands of his ardent readers, Susan takes on the chore of editing his most recent manuscript. There’s only one snag: the conclusion is sadly omitted.
After finding out that Conway had unexpectedly died, Susan decided to investigate both the mystery of his death and the disappearance of a chapter in the book. This mystery inside a mystery gets its first peek in the new series teaser. A glimpse of Lesley Manville’s Susan, a former editor turned amateur sleuth, is also shown in the trailer. Susan has always been troubled by the idea of Atticus, the fictitious investigator who haunts the very real mystery surrounding his creator’s death.
It’s clear from the trailer, too, that Conway gave the residents of the community around his life distinct characters in his work. A clue to the death of the author and the disappearance of a chapter may lie in this small fact. In a tiny town, you never know what you’ll find. The series features Tim McMullan and Manville. On Sunday, October 16, 2022, at 9:00 p.m. ET and 8:00 p.m. CT, Magpie Murders will premiere on Masterpiece on PBS. You can, however, continue working on the puzzle on your own until then.
