In England, 1925, at a “lavish country house party, a practical joke appears to have gone horribly, murderously wrong. It will be up to the unlikeliest of sleuths – the fizzingly inquisitive Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent – to unravel a chilling plot that will change her life, cracking wide open the country house mystery,” reads the Netflix synopsis. Intriguing.

Christie’s great-grandson James Prichard serves as an executive producer on the series and said: “Bundle Brent is one of my great-grandmother’s raft of interesting, humorous, sharp, young female characters.” He added that “viewers will love this world that we have created, and hope for more”.
