I wouldn't have wanted to be in Sarah Phelps' shoes when this adaptation of Ordeal by Innocence was released, she must have hated the critics comments. I haven't read the book so I can't compare them. It seems to be very familiar Christie territory with virtually all the characters having a motive to kill the mother of the family.
However, as the story progressed, and the actions of the past came to light, I could see who the killer was, but as it wasn't the same as in Miss Christie's book, that is a star off from me to Miss Phelps and her story.
I rather enjoyed this; we didn't have all the upper class types with posh voices littering the series, but it was a typical BBC dramatic production with great cinematography and casting. As I would still like to find out the proper ending, I guess I will have to go back to the book, and read another crime story by the lady who is one of the very best, Agatha Christie.
