Neville and team investigate the death of British barrister Cora Blyth, who was killed travelling down a single from in a lift at her hotel. The paperwork piles up, Selwyn brings in a familiar face to help out.

I thought quite highly of this one, we've had countless locked room mysteries, I can't think of many travelling lift whodunnits. Let's be honest, we all knew what was coming, but it was thoroughly entertaining.

Once again, it's a fairly small pool of suspects, not particularly hard to work out who the guilty party is, all about 'that' alibi.

It's turning into Doctor Who, calling on its back catalogue of familiar faces to help out when needed, Dwayne's reappearance was a poorly kept secret, and he stepped straight back in, comedy falls an' all.

It's funny how we all see different things, I was going to comment, saying how good John Gordon Sinclair was looking, not looking his 62 years.

One of the best from this series, a fine episode.

8/10.

The trailer in the previous episode let the car out of the bag. Officer Dwayne returns from London as Commissioner Patterson calls in a favour.

Not before time. There is a murder and it proves to be an up and down case. Cora Blythe (Gabrielle Glaister) is holidaying on the island with her family at the Arawak resort. She is seriously ill.

Her husband Joe (John Gordon Sinclair) helped her to get into the life but then had to return to the room to retrieve some club cards. As she goes down the hotel lift for dinner, someone murdered her.

When the lift door opens the concierge finds that Cora was stabbed.

DI Neville Parker finds that although the trip to St Marie was on Cora's bucket list. It was not written down anywhere on her list.

He also thinks that the family hidden had secrets such as infidelity.

I did wonder who could had gone in the lift in the short time Joe closed the door. So I did like how DI Parker worked out the mystery.

It was disconcerting to see how old the two guest actors had got. It seems only a few years ago that John Gordon Sinclair used to play gawky lovestruck teenagers. Gabrielle Glaister was Bob in Blackadder 2.
