‘Down Cemetery Road’ Author Explains Why Zoe & Amos Sequence Wouldn’t Work in Book
Author Mick Herron commends the new visually-driven train sequence in the Apple TV series, noting it enhances drama and suits the screen medium better than a novel.
- Apple TV's adaptation added a new train sequence featuring Zoë Boehm and Amos at the end of Episode 5 and in Episode 6, developed by Banks .
- Herron explains that in a novel, extensive description of compartments and hiding places is required, but the visual medium can simply show Zoë's fear and Amos's implacable nature, making the scene work on screen.
- Once aboard the train, they lock eyes as ordinary passengers; Zoë Boehm escapes to hide in a compartment while Amos steals a cab, kills its passengers, and calls it in as a bystander.
- Herron, an executive producer, raved to TV Insider that `It is beautifully done` and praises how it better suits the screen than the book.
- Visually, the scene positions Zoë's investigation into her husband's staged death on the same train as Amos, letting viewers see Zoë's fear and resourcefulness and Amos's implacable nature within the series' broader plot.
