Cha, Steph. " 'Magpie Murders' dishes up two tasty mysteries in one". USA TODAY . Retrieved 7 October 2020. strong>On the Role: “I play a lot of characters in my career who are sometimes quite a long way away from me [personally]…and I like that,” Manville tells MASTERPIECE. “But sometimes I sort of hanker to play something that’s a little bit closer to home and Susan feels like that. [This role] is taxing another side of my acting branches if you like. It’s refreshing and nice for me.” Actors Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan have the featured roles in Magpie Murders on MASTERPIECE on PBS but are surrounded by a large and talented cast. We’ve zeroed in on a handful of key actors to reveal what they think about their character(s), where you’ve seen them before, and a more personal detail about each. From a one-time roadie for the band Queen to someone raised by a crime fiction writer, and perhaps “the next Colin Firth,” you’ll be delighted to discover more. The doctor reveals that Clarissa was the firstborn of twins. The entail of Pye Manor is to the first born child, not first born male child. Their father forced the doctor to record the boy as first born. This explains the cryptic phone message Sir Magnus left behind; the doctor called him from Ashton House, and said that the girl was born first, his sister. strong>Interesting Fact: Rushbrook and Lesley Manville also portray on-screen sisters in the BBC series Sherwood. “We met [on the set of Magpie Murders], we fell in love. It was friendship at first sight,” Manville tells Trip Wire Magazine. “When Sherwood came along and they said that Claire’s going to play my sister, it was just perfect.”She and Charles attend Alan’s funeral. Susan makes a list of potential murderers of Conway, including Claire, James, and Alan's ex-wife Melissa, a list she never shares. She sees a man with a fedora at the funeral; he wants to make a television adaptation of the Atticus Pünd mysteries. Pünd writes a letter to James Fraser explaining his plans. Using the poison from Clarissa Pye, Pünd plans to kill himself, in view of his dire medical prognosis.

The characters and puzzling plot in Conway's novel come to life, and so do an array of modern people who surrounded Conway in real life. Are there any connections between these two worlds? There is no mystery writer whose puzzles make me think, 'Ooh, I can't wait!' more than Anthony Horowitz. He is a master of the cunning plot device, and brings zest and originality to the traditional murder mystery novel.'
