A Carnival arrived in Cabot Cove, a spare of burglaries in the local area are attributed to its members. Jessica is on hand when The Carnival's leader, Carl Dorner is killed. A face from Mort's past arrives with The Carnival.
A very good end to the tenth series, it's been such a strong run overall, and it ends very well here, this is a fine episode. A very fine storyline, with a great set of characters, some romantic interest for Metzger, and a murder scene that could have fitted well in a horror film.
We're back to Cabot Cove, the murder capital of the world, it's great to see Jessica back in her natural surroundings, surrounded by her friends.
Fletcher does her usual investigations, questioning all and sundry, it's amusing.
Lots of nice visuals, it really does feel like a travelling carnival is in town.
Bradford Dillman was great here as the charismatic Dorner, he certainly relished the part, and gave it a good deal of gusto.
8/10.
