This builds into a double whodunit with a very Agatha Christie feel to it. It is ostensibly set in 1950s rural England. The same writer is behind Poirot, and Midsomer Murders.
Now I only gave it a 6 because if you're fussy, things will jar and grate on your nerves. I won't detail Spoilers, but I suggest ignoring them if you can.
I would rate the screenplay as rushed. The plot is very unevenly paced throughout the script. In a novel, you can turn from the last chapter back to page 46 to review earlier events you might not remember. You are unlikely to start searching through Episode 2 halfway through watching Episode 6. My guess is that the writer didn't like the poor price he was offered, and lacked care. He just rushed something off. Midsomer Murders is in the same vein. The Detectives in that show should be called Defectives. They go around for 1¾ hours doing no real police work and without a clue as the murders pile up. Then, when most of the (tiny) village is dead, the "star" is struck by ligntning, and rushes off, catching the murderer in the act.
