Don't read below unless seen s1 magpie murders

What happened in the Moonflower Murders prequel Magpie Murders?

Magpie Murders followed Susan Ryeland, a book editor who was given a manuscript of author Alan Conway’s unfinished novel. In the book Conway’s detective Atticus Pünd, who is terminally ill, investigates two deaths in the small town of Saxby-on-Avon. But the manuscript ends just as Atticus is about to reveal the murderer’s identity, leaving Susan determined to find the missing last chapter.

She then hears that Conway supposedly committed suicide but believes this isn’t true and finds herself investigating his murder.

So back to s2

The second season of hit detective show Magpie Murders, called Moonflower Murders (www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/magpie-murders-season-2-release/), has already aired in the US, leaving UK viewers waiting until they can catch up with Susan Ryeland and the fictional Atticus Pünd.

The season will officially kicks off with a double-bill, with the first two episodes airing back to back on BBC One at 9:15pm and 10:20pm on Saturday 16th November.

The new season, which is based on the second novel in Anthony Horowitz’s Susan Ryeland series, will pick up where Magpie Murders left off, with Susan having left publishing and living in Crete with her long-time boyfriend, Andrea

The synopsis for the season says: "Her idyll is disturbed by the shadow of a murder committed at a British country hotel eight years ago. Alan Conway visited the hotel and wrote a novel based on what happened there.

Cecily Treherne, the young woman who helps run the hotel, read the book and believed the wrong man had been arrested. Now she has disappeared.

"Can Susan uncover the secret hidden in the book and find Cecily before it is too late?"

Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan will, of course, both be returning, along with Alexandros Logothetis, Daniel Mays, Claire Rushbrook, Conleth Hill, Matthew Beard and Sanjeev Kohli
