+++++ MAJOR SPOILER WARNING +++++
Interesting premise of a singer that has returned from the dead after 35 years and the band is going to reunite.
well, except for the fact that two of the original band members get killed off and the manager, who staged the whole thing, is trying to kill off another member. Leaving the drummer and the female singer if he succeeds.
So the manager, after 35 years, wants to reunite the band. The real lead singer has died and he trained her sister to take her name and place. Except he didn't tell her the guitarist was gay? Seems like he skipped over a major detail if he thinks she can pass for her sister.
And just how excited would the fans be if members keep getting killed off because they figured out it wasn't their original singer. Who was going to be left - the singer and the brain damaged brother? That will get them a few dates at some Midwestern casino boats along with the remnants of Iron Butterfly. Big deal.
Lewis seemed unconcerned that an important figure from his youth, thought to be long dead, has resurfaced. Aren't detectives skeptical about such stories? Shouldn't he be able to verify where she's been all these years? Wouldn't the deaths that started after her return cause him and Hathaway to focus on her? Are so many people being murdered in Oxford that no one thought there might be a connection? I love Morse and Lewis but this story was hard to believe from the moment Esme appears to the last second rescue of the guitarist.
