I don't agree with the couple of negative reviews here. I found the story and writing very good (Anthony Horowitz adapting his own novel). The plot was twisty and engaging, and the 'story in a story' keeps you on your toes.

If you liked Magpie Murders, you'll very probably like Moonflower Murders. It's once again a well-written recreation of the 'golden age' whodunnit.

The interaction between Susan and Pünd is always enjoyable. Susan's personal drama does not get too much in the way of the murder mystery, and the mingling of the two feels relevant.

I hear the third Susan Ryeland novel is coming out in March 2025 and I'm hoping it will also be adapted to TV. This is very competent and enjoyable television and a treat for murder mystery fans.

Last Night in Soho is a bit of a change from Wright's 'Three Cornetto' movies, a slower, more dreamy cinematic style that successfully evokes the style of 60s London.

It's ultimately a somewhat tragic tale of the exploitation of women, wrapped in an enticing mystery story. The movie goes through genre changes and there's plenty of twists and turns in this compelling story.

Some people didn't like the 'horror' aspects introduced later in the movie but I thought they were not out of place given the story.

There's also a great lineup of acting talent, all of whom did a fantastic job.

I enjoyed this movie very much. Definitely one for Edgar Wright fans, and fans of mystery and psychological thriller movies in general.
