I came across this interesting drama on an old VHS tape recently. It certainly has plenty of intrigue and atmosphere but rambles into just one too many side stories along the way. Simpler would have been better in my opinion. Mathilda, played by the still stunningly beautiful Sian Phillips, is found naked in her bath. The victim of apparent suicide?
Along comes near to retirement, local flat foot Sergeant Cooper, hoping to crack the case and leave the force on a higher pension rate. Of the main characters I found Joanna, played by Trudie Styler the most compelling. Although most men would view her as rather plain looking I have to confess that I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She has the most amazing, chiselled from granite (but sexy) face of any women.
After several side issues (one or two somewhat kinky) have been resolved plod gets his man and we are treated to a VERY disturbing final scene. I enjoyed watching it again but it could have been 45 minutes shorter and better for it. 8 out of 10.
