Just delicious! The kind of murder mystery I love. The main thread is about an author who publishes his latest murder mystery novel with the last chapter missing an then dies. The publisher, Lesley Manville, then sets out to find the missing chapter. However, this plot is very cleverly merged with the plot of the murder mystery itself in a way that keeps you on your toes and keeps you guessing to the last. Both Lesley Manville and Tim McMullan are superb and I must include the wonderful Conleth Hill. The pace is brisk and the writing is razor-sharp. Oddly, this premiered on Britbox only (as far as I am aware) which may limit its audience but I urge you to watch it if you can. Fully recommended.
