While the setting might be familiar from Agatha Christie, the cast of characters in This Is Not a Murder Mystery is far from usual. The series is set at the time of the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition in London, and features artists such as René Magritte, Man Ray, Lee Miller, Max Ernst and Salvador Dali.
They have all been invited to the country house of Lord James, a noted art collector. But the next morning, Magritte wakes up beside a dead body, and Scotland Yard is called in. Further surreal killings follow and, as the prime suspect, Magritte must find the murderer and clear his name.
