It looks like that the only person Jinx can trust could be Dr Alan Protheroe. However as far as the police are concerned, she killed her former fiance and her best friend.

Jinx also seems to be getting flashbacks, maybe her memories are returning.

There were plenty of alternative suspects, Jinx's brother looked like an obvious one. Of course her shady businessman father was the villain in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

So the actual reveal caught me by surprise and it was also gory.

A good Minette Walters thriller but it could had done with being filmed more stylishly. There was some Prime Suspect subtext, with the female detective being treated badly, but it was her who made an important breakthrough.

Jinx slowly starts to put the pieces together, she learns a very uncomfortable truth about a member of her family.

It's a strong concluding episode, it pulls you several ways, twisting and turning, resulting in a very unexpected outcome. I went through every possibility, considered every possible conclusion, except for this one. It's one creepy solution.

Kirwan has been terrific throughout, and she once again steals the show. The cast do a great job, bar one or two minor moments of the hysterics.

I've always said glass coffee tables are dangerous!! We needed more Minette Walters on the box.

Pretty good. 7/10.
