Review of Foyle's War

Foyle's War (2002–2015)
6/10
Fascinating detective stories...extremely well acted and produced...
24 April 2007
I came across this quite by accident and tuned in on a very interesting episode entitled: FOYLE'S WAR II: The Fifty Ships. Very understated but impressive performance by Michael Kitchen as the inspector who looks into the murder of an Englishman in a picturesque London village during World War II.

It's done in the best manner of British mysteries with lots of interesting characters involved in the plot, which never becomes too convoluted or hard to follow (as some of these mysteries tend to do). The doggedly determined Foyle seems to be hounding a certain man he believes is responsible for the murder, although there's a clever plot twist at the end involving America's role in the war as an allie of Great Britain which gives the murderer a way out.

Summing up: Satisfying, handsomely mounted production is a treat for mystery fans.
