One of the most enjoyable -- and prevalent -- tropes in crime fiction is what one might call, “the Jack Reacher variation,” aka the lone avenger/slayer of scum, if you will.
Recent years have seen a steady stream of standalone adaptations of Agatha Christie’s work, featuring a wide variety of creators, performers, and perspectives. The end results vary dramatically– some are total disappoints, others are delightful gems. Murder is Easy falls into both camps.
