England, 1954. On a train to London, a man going by the name of Luke Fitzwilliam meets Miss Pinkerton, who tells him that a killer is on the loose in the sleepy English village of Wychwood under Ashe.
The villagers believe the deaths are mere accidents, but Miss Pinkerton knows otherwise - and when she's later found dead on her way to Scotland Yard, Luke feels he must find the killer before they can strike again. Because for a certain kind of person, Murder Is Easy...

As the village is shaken by another death, the discovery of a crucial piece of evidence blows the investigation wide open and leaves Luke Fitzwilliam questioning who he can trust.
What exactly was the point of the main character being Nigerian in the first place? They made it look like it had some special bearing on his heritage as a Nigerian only for that whole trope to be thrown out of the window for a fairly boring murder mystery. As a Nigerian, I see it as just pandering or black-casting. While it's nice to see black actors getting more positive roles in "historic" shows, there was absolutely no need for it. It could as well be another Agatha Raisin or Grantchester episode with no bearing on the Nigerian/African angle.
