Whodunnit? Suspense around filming in Heath and Reach

And joining together the clues, for us it’s been like something out of the casebook of Poirot or Miss Marple.

But after a rigorous investigation, it appears Agatha Christie’s Crooked House – the only one of the famed murder mystery writer’s novels never to be adapted – was the movie being filmed in the village.

Crooked House is endowed with a star-studded cast including Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Max Irons, Stefanie Martini, Christina Hendricks and Terence Stamp.

Set just after the Second World War, the plot follows a young man as he tracks down the murderer of his fiancee’s grandfather, a miserly old patriarch with more than a few grudges borne against him.

The novel was one of Agatha Christie’s personal favourites, and the movie is slated for release next year.
