well-written script, 25 May 2007

I actually thought the script was pretty good and it was clever in that it combined the plot of the crime with some of Lynley's personal upheavals. This particular scriptwriter is one of my favourites. The dialogue in the car where Havers promised Lynley she would save his dignity by making the video of his therapy session disappear actually made me laugh out loud, and the role reversal, with Havers bossing Lynley around and Lynley having to take the flak was, I thought, superbly done.

I consider myself equally horrendous at spotting the killer, and I didn't spot this one until about ten minutes before the end. Having once identified the person concerned, however, I had no difficulty seeing why they would have acted as they did. But all the way through there were several people who could quite possibly have been responsible.
