'London Kills' season 1: Writer Paul Marquess on Amber's evolution from eyewitness to psychopathic murderer

In a MEA WorldWide exclusive, Marquess says there were hints of Amber being more than just a harmless eyewitness, especially since she was there all through the first season

Acorn TV's first ever murder mystery drama, 'London Kills,' premiered at the end of February, and we are still reeling from how the show managed to turn a seemingly harmless eye witness into a devious psychopath murderer. Called Amber, and played by the exceptional talent that is Jennie Jacques, the character was introduced to us in the first episode of the just released first season, and for the longest part, she seemed to have had no connection with the murders.

But soon we find out that is not the case, and it is this gradual build-up to the intense season finale that manages to leave viewers a little unnerved.

The official synopsis of the show describes it as: "The world’s most exciting city is the backdrop for each of the murders investigated by an elite murder squad. This specialist group is headed by hugely experienced Detective Inspector David Bradford (Hugo Speer). He has just come back to work after compassionate leave – his wife has been missing for three months."
