The Little Murders of Agatha Christie

Matthew Prichard himself, the grandson of the famous writer, stated in an interview for the French magazine Télérama that the four-part episode that led to the creation of the series, 'Hercule Poirot's Christimas', was the best television adaptation ever made of this novel, despite changing the character of Hercule Poirot.

Despite being based on Agatha Christie's novels, TV series is set in France and not the United Kingdom, where the writer used to play a large part of her novels. In fact, the usual protagonists of her novels, Poirot and Miss Marple, are replaced by French detectives.

Much of the novels have been located in Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the former region now belonging to Hauts-de-France, following the merger with the region of Picardy. A place located to the north of France, near the border with Belgium.
