![]() ![]() Now, Magpie Murders is not the first time someone has woven its protagonist into a fictional storyline. As if that weren't enough, Susan even begins having conversations with Atticus Pünd, who gives her mystery-solving advice. Several of the actors appear in both tracks - for instance, Matthew Beard plays both Conway's cynical ex-boyfriend and Pünd's dim sidekick. Even as Susan looks for answers about Conway's novel in the real world, the show offers a parallel track along which we watch Atticus Pünd - wryly played by Tim McMullan - attempt to solve the murder story in Conway's novel. If Conway was murdered, his novel - and missing final chapter - may hold the answer to who did it.Īll of this makes the TV series Magpie Murders something of a hall of mirrors. Meeting with the people who know Conway, she soon grasps that his latest Pünd novel is populated with characters who are actually caricatures of them - his sister, his ex-wife, his just-dumped boyfriend, his aggrieved gardener, and so forth. Susan desperately tries to find the missing pages. ![]()
