My only quibble with Ordeal of Innocence is with the downbeat mood of both the book and the mini-series. In typical Agatha Christie fashion, everyone looks guilty. Kirsten (Morven Christie), the housekeeper, knows too much. Leo, Rachel’s husband (Bill Nighy), is cozy with his secretary, Gwenda Vaughn (Alice Eve). Mary’s polio-stricken husband, Philip (Matthew Goode), seems to know more than he’s telling. Tina (Crystal Clarke) and Mickey’s (Christian Cooke) secret relationship gives them motive for killing Rachel. Hester (Ella Purnell), flighty and fragile, hated Rachel for being right about her lack of acting talent–and her taste in men. Once Jacko is cleared of the crime, the family members all become suspects. Calgary (Luke Treadaway), says he was part of an Arctic expedition and just recently returned to learn about this sensational case. A year later, a man shows up on the doorstep of the Argyle mansion, claiming he has evidence that Jacko was innocent of the murder. Jacko Argyle (Anthony Boyle) is accused and convicted of murdering Rachel Argyle. Check out the sneak peek trailer for The ABC Murders coming to Amazon. Rachel Argyle (Anna Chancellor), the matriarch of a wealthy family, adopts five children. Watch: ‘The ABC Murders’ starring John Malkovich Coming to Amazon Prime.
