Anybody read the book?
If so can you spoil it and tell me who did it? Been reading the synopsis online and the show starts tonight but don't want to wait 3 weeks to find out the conclusion lol
shareI can't believe that it is on for three weeks. They are totally racing through the book. They have added characters in and taken some out. The book is excelllent by the way.
*SPOILER ALERT*

Nobody did it. She isn't dead. It was a cover up by the entire village to get rid of her stepfather who has been badly abusing the village children. Alison got pregnant by him and went to live with an aunt. George Bennett goes back to the manor years later and Alison opens the door, claiming to be somebody else. George is traumatised that he has sent an 'innocent' man to the gallows, but mainly he wants the villagers and Alison to just be left alone
Well that is what happens unless they change it.

Spoiler!
Yep that's it. Plus, the nasty lord raped the documentary maker when she was a kid.
Not in the book. In the book she was a writer not a documentary film maker, and she had had no contact with the executed guy at all.
That stuff was changed and added for the tv show. The book was far better.

I much preferred the book. The fact that George Bennett, in the book, had a wife and a child on the way added to his determination to get to the bottom of the 'mystery'. I also didn't like the fact that Catherine Heathcote seemed to be a central character in the TV version, yet only played a very small part in the book. I hate the way books are hashed about for the telly.
I think if George had a wife & child on the way in the TV version, the viewer would have been less likely to doubt his motives & suspect that he was in some way involved or implicit in the crime. The fact that on the face of it he was a trustworthy, moral policeman yet had (what appeared to be an obsession) with Alison meant that there was always the chance he was not all he seemed to be. In my opinion, it was alot easier to be suspicious of a single man than a family man.

That's good to know, cause that was the stupidest thing in the movie, though the whole village conspiracy thing was implausible too.
