The TV show is based on Horowitz’s popular book and, as stated by Masterpiece, it promises to amaze and startle its audience.
But who’s returning for round two? And what, exactly, can you expect?

Moonflower Murders plot: What’s it about?
Horowitz stated that the second book is filled with unexpected twists, even including an element he’s never incorporated into a murder mystery before. He’s really excited for everyone to enjoy it!
In the second season, Susan Ryeland’s peaceful life in Crete with her partner Andreas is disrupted as a murder that occurred eight years earlier at a British countryside inn resurfaces.
Previously known as Susan’s high-profile writer, Alan Conway, revisited the hotel and penned a book inspired by its events. This book, in turn, caused Cecily Treherne, one of the hotel managers, to doubt the identity of the man currently imprisoned.
Currently, Cecily is nowhere to be found. Could Susan reveal the mystery concealed within the book and locate Cecily before time runs out?
