Time for more adventures
Julie Graham (The Bletchley Circle), Siobhan Redmond (Unforgotten), and Sarah Woodward (The Pale Horse) star as the Stone sisters, who use their knowledge of crime – both real and fictional – to help their detective niece (Florence Hall) solve murders in the picturesque English village of Wildemarsh.
Riviera and The Hour star Juliet Stevenson also stars as the narrator in this whimsical spin on a classic detective mystery. And following an intriguing first series that saw Stevenson nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award, more climactic cases lie in store.
Series two of this colourful detective drama sees our four queens - Detective Sergeant Matilda Stone and her three crime-writing aunts Beth, Cat and Jane Stone – continuing to solve murders in the picturesque village of Wildemarsh. But no matter how many cases they crack, the characters are still haunted by the unsolved disappearance of Matilda’s mother 25 years ago.
