Each year, Masterpiece Mystery! presents the very best of British mysteries to an American audience. This summer, Mystery! brings seven all-new shows led by three great detectives-Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot (the persnickety and perceptive Belgian detective), Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (her gentle smile hides her probing mind), and swoon-worthy Rufus Sewell as modern-day Italian detective Aurelio Zen. Masterpiece Mystery! airs on Sundays beginning June 19 at 8 p.m. on WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast.
The summer lineup includes:

MASTERPIECE MYSTERY! Agatha Christie's Miss Marple "The Pale Horse"
