TOWARDS ZERO: BBC SET TO ADAPT ANOTHER AGATHA CHRISTIE NOVEL

The BBC is to adapt another Agatha Christie classic following the success of Murder Is Easy over the festive period. This time, the broadcaster is to adapt Towards Zero.

The synopsis for the novel reads: "An elderly widow is murdered at a clifftop seaside house. What is the connection between a failed suicide attempt, a wrongful accusation of theft against a schoolgirl, and the romantic life of a famous tennis player?..

To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of an elderly widow, earlier events come to a dramatic head. It’s all part of a carefully paid plan – for murder."

More details will be announced in due course. The commission was first reported by Deadline.
