Readers of Dame Agatha Christie’s mysteries will tell you it is dangerous to underestimate little old ladies. Everyone knows about Miss Jane Marple, who solved cases for 32 crimes in Christie’s classic novels and short stories. The similarly perceptive Miss Lavinia Pinkerton also deduced the identity of a serial killer secretly stalking her sleepy English village, but the culprit will murder her before she can inform Scotland Yard. After their chance encounter, a young civil servant hunts for her killer in Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre’s two-part adaptation of Christie’s  “Murder is Easy,” directed by Meenu Gaur.
