Any Durbridge fan, or lover of Sixties mysteries will definitely enjoy this one. A bizarre crime occurs, and the viewer is left to wait until the very last to discover the killer's identity and motive. I'd say the opening few episodes are excellent, the closing ones are very good, perhaps not the high standard of the opening view.
It's jam packed with intrigue and mystery, as always Durbridge leads you constantly into blind alleys. On several occasions you think something's happening, when it's actually quite the opposite.
Gerald Harper steals the show as the solid Detective, but he's particularly well supported by Edward Brayshaw, Bernard Brown and Judy Parfitt are good value, Brian Wilde is ok, but was much better in Melissa.
I don't enjoy this one as much as Game of Murder or Bat out of Hell, but it's still very much worth a watch. 7/10
