Agatha

In 1926, with her personal life in tatters and her writing in crisis, a young Agatha Christie decides to solve a real-life murder.

Seeking escape and inspiration, Agatha Christie travels to Baghdad on an archaeological tour. What she finds is turmoil: the world's biggest oil field has just been discovered and Iraq's ancient treasures are under threat. Agatha also finds a charming, naive young archaeologist, Max, who needs her help as a series of murders unfold in the faded grandeur of the villa where they are staying. Has Agatha met her match?

As bombs fall on London, writer Agatha Christie considers selling a manuscript that will kill off her most famous creation.

Set in 1934, the story revolves around a multimillionaire, Lewis Findley, who invites six strangers to visit him at his estate for no apparent reason. Among them is Miranda Green, a flower girl who wants to be a detective and finds the invitation too attractive to refuse. When a guest turns up dead, the motives behind the meeting are soon explored. With an Agatha Christie-like tone and an irresistible atmosphere, it's certainly worth watching.
