Really looking forward to this. I loved the book!

Looking forward to seeing this, especially as I can't remember what happened in the book!

I listend to this on audible. I think I suit reading better because 'the twist' barely registered with me and I'm sure I would have been more gripped if I was page turning. I will watch though but have Juliet Stephenson in my head as she read it!

Thanks for the info, I loved this book so will definitely be watching a

You're welcome! There was quite a discussion about this book on here when it came out so I'd imagine a few pp will be interested in watching this.

Can't wait! Loved the book...though also can't quite remember the ending

Place marking

Count me in for discussions aplenty - loved the book and very much looking forward to the series!

The new series has been previewed on Breakfast tv and The One Show with interviews with the two major characters and all they've talked about are the steamy scenes! So we know what we're in for - if that's what we want to watch on a Sunday Evening. It will be a bit of a back to reality moment after evensong, I must say. However, there does also appear to be an interesting story line and a twist at the end, so let's see.

Ooh, I didn't know about this!

Destiny that was a spoiler - please could you report your post so it gets deleted?

I think the casting for this looks spot on - but I don't know if the story will stand up when the viewer knows the twist already. (I read the book, haven't re-read it because I didn't think it would be worth re-visiting - but I could be wrong)

TBH this thread was really for pp who have already read the book, was just a heads up for them, so not really a spoiler!

Unless I said this thread was only for pp who have read the book. Ill report it and see what they say, don't want to spoil it for pp who haven't read the book.

I'm going to break away from my Netflix addiction to watch this :) Really enjoyed the novel. Was a great story. Hope the series does it justice.

Bumping!

I forget the ending 😱

Probably best...

I can't wait. I read it recently and can remember the ending but need need need to watch it!

Bumping again for pp who don't know this is on tonight!

High hopes for this.

Looks good. Plan to watch tomorrow

Haven't read the book so don't know the twist /spoiler so please don't say on here what it is till the scene has been shown

And sadly most books I've loved reading when on tv I find they change the storyline /ending which always pisses me off

Crickly hall was one. That so annoyed me

Looking good so far!
