Bobby Jones is retrieving a wayward golf ball at the base of a cliff when he discovers an unconscious man whose back is broken. The man regains consciousness long enough to utter the words "Why didn't they ask Evans?" before he dies. A few days after the inquest, Bobby is drugged when someone slips what should have been a deadly dose of morphine into his beer. Bobby decides to investigate the matter further and his friend Lady Frances Derwent agrees to help. The two of them are soon hard at work to discover the murderer of the dead man, but as they approach the truth, they find their own lives in danger.

Summary

Soon to be a BritBox limited series written and directed by Hugh Laurie!

A dying man's bewildering last words pull an inquisitive young man and his beautiful companion into a dangerous web of lethal secrets in Agatha Christie's classic mystery, Why Didn't They Ask Evans?

While playing an erratic round of golf, Bobby Jones slices his ball over the edge of a cliff. His ball is lost, but on the rocks below he finds the crumpled body of a dying man. The man opens his eyes and with his last breath says, "Why didn't they ask Evans?"

Haunted by those words, Bobby and his vivacious companion, Frankie, set out to solve a mystery that will bring them into mortal danger. . .
