After a night with Friends crime writer Frank O'Toole goes for an early morning swim, but is killed with a diving knife, leaving behind wife Valerie, his long term agent Larry and his researcher Gilly. It seems each of them had a motive for Frank's demise.
This was without a doubt the best episode for Ardal yet, more serious in tone, the crime a bit more on the gritty side, and Ardal himself looking a lot more settled in the role. I'm glad to see Florence back in action, one episode of Detective Duane was enough. Simon Callow certainly earned his fee, he was terrific, so incredibly charismatic. Sian Gibson excellent also.
Ardal's humour definitely shines through, some great lines, 'I had four sisters, and they're all big girls.'
Spot on, 9/10
