Who is the murderer in Crooked House?
The culprit is Josephine, the young granddaughter of the murdered patriarch Aristide Leonides, whose childlike diary-keeping hides her crime. It is one of Christie's most infamous solutions because of the killer's age, which is why a faithful adaptation was long considered difficult to film.
