Review magpie murders5/11/2023 But by the penultimate episode, the detective will have figured it all out. Slowly, one episode after the other, the cloud of suspicion shifts from one character to the next. On the face of it, everyone linked to the person murdered appears suspicious. The detective and the sidekick go to the (small) town where the murder had occurred. Someone approaches them with a murder mystery. There's a know-it-all and/or emotionally unstable detective, and there's a sidekick whose lack of observation skills only adds value to the former. The characteristics of any whodunit are, by and large, textbook. But that's half the appeal of Magpie Murders (streaming on SonyLiv), adapted from Anthony Horowitz's book of the same name – the first of his Susan Ryeland novel series. Writing a spoiler-free review of a whodunit is hard it's harder if it's a whodunit within a whodunit.
