Also Terrence Stamp’s Chief Inspector Taverner is good value, injecting sarcasm into the most procedural of proceedings. Clipping her accent as keenly as the estate’s hedges, her matriarchal harridan is sly fun. That said, within the assembled cast, Glenn Close seems to be having fun. Each sharpening their own resentments in their private rooms, ‘Crooked House’s’ storyline takes you around the entire house, leaking tension with each new introduction. The usual cross section of suspects that span both the ages and political divides have been assembled for our consideration. Feeling like an adaptation that has been overly faithful to its source material, ‘Agatha Christie’s Crooked House’ feels leaden and labyrinthine in its telling.
