The Blackheath Poisonings ★★½ 1992

The Collards and the Vandervents are toy-making families who share more than a profession—they share Albert Villa in the London suburb of Blackheath in 1894. Unhappy adults, an illicit affair, a scheming stranger—everyone has something to hide. But when a gruesome murder is committed the ensuing police inquiry will rattle both families skeletons.
