*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is my favourite of the four episodes shown on the BBC in the UK 2005.

Well-produced, with interesting indoor and outdoor locations and an excellent script.

SPOILER AHEAD : Mark Greig's script leaves us wondering what else was behind the crime, which was only partially solved, and whether we shall be seeing any more of the characters and whether the other wrongdoers will ever be caught and punished.

This was extremely cleverly done.

As usual, we see movement and changes in the lives of the main characters. Barbara has moved house without telling us. We need an eagle eye to see that she now lives somewhere else.Lynley hears news of Helen and displays mixed feelings.
