Watched Endless Night, about a cursed property on Gipsy's Acre, and, of course, about a series of murders. It is one of the few novels by Agatha Christie written in the first person (including those she wrote under the nom de plume Mary Westmacott), namely the male protagonist, which in this DVD is really hard to reconcile with all of the scenes in which Miss Marple is seen without the male protagonist's knowing about them.
I did love watching this because I like home building, and it was fascinating seeing that old house transformed into a modern, almost Frank-Lloyd-Wright, habitation.
There is something Cornell Woolrich about this episode, so that it comes across as Agatha Christie Noir, and it has a spectacular ending too, not the usual drawing-room sum-up scene in which all of the suspects are gathered and the loose ends are finally tied together.
Alas, this novel seems to have been written after the Death on the Nile template, or vice-versa.
