Marple: Sleeping Murder (2006)
Episode 1, Season 2
Good story; not Agatha's!
7 February 2023
SPOILERS
I don't object to some changes and simplifications to make a novel work for television, but this is an entirely new story only tangentially related to the original. It is much more complex, with many new characters and plot twists. For example, I really don't understand why the husband in the novel was reduced to a fiancé, with his function in the story taken over by an entirely new character who ends up snagging the heroine. That said, the new story was quite was entertaining to watch. The actors were uniformly appealing and Geraldine McEwan is one of my favourite Miss Marples, second only to Joan Hickson.
