The synopsis continues: "With tensions tearing the family apart, what seems like a perfect haven soon turns into a nightmare, as the matriarch of the family Emily Inglethorp (Walter) dies suddenly one night, with her family swiftly realising her death was no accident.
"With a full ensemble of characters with motives for the murder, nobody is above suspicion. As Hastings is desperate to solve the mystery and protect the family from fervent media speculation, he knows there is only one man who can help.
"With his impeccable suit and exceptional insight, Hastings calls on the brilliant detective he once knew - Hercule Poirot (Dinklage)."
This adaptation has been written by Anna Lea (Around the World in 80 Days) and directed by Alice Lowe (Prevenge) and features an original score by British actor and musician Johnny Flynn (The Detectorists) in collaboration with cellist and composer Joe Zeitlin.
