I was all prepared to be underwhelmed, not because I already knew who the original killer was but because of how blatantly suspicious they were making her and I was hoping for a different killer just for that reason so I was very happy. Kirsten (conspiring with Jack) being the killer worked really well in the Marple version I watched (and presumably the book too which I need to read) but I think Leo doing it was a much better ending for this particular version since they were trying to make Kirsten and Jack seem guilty so hard whereas Leo seemed to be the sole trustworthy character. And he was my main hope for the killer if they did change it for that reason so yeah, very satisfying for me.

Kirsten being Jack's mother was a huge surprise since, again, with me being familiar with the earlier versions where they're actually secret lovers (and definitely not related ) I was expecting that so this was a massive swerve.

I felt Philip's death was a bit of a loose end, they barely addressed it but I'm assuming Leo killed him rather than the accidental overdose explanation.

I believe The ABC Murders is next to be adapted. Hopefully we get it in the usual Christmas slot this year

Definitely looking forward to this one
