Author’s great-grandson suggests she would have approved of changing lead’s ethnicity in Murder Is Easy
Agatha Christie would have approved of changing the protagonist’s heritage from white to Nigerian in the BBC’s TV adaptation of Murder Is Easy, her great-grandson has suggested.
This year’s BBC Christmas Christie adaptation has cast David Jonsson as the protagonist Luke Fitzwilliam, a young man forging a career in Whitehall until a mysterious encounter drives him to investigate a murder in an English village.
