Sometimes the Brits make the very best mysteries, but when they don't work, they really don't work. This one is just a mess of coincidences and unpleasant characters and, most of all, poor story telling. Furthermore, Juliet Stevenson, who can be excellent, is tasked with carrying the show; instead she's wooden, seems lost in the role, and ends up extremely unsympathetic. The only one in the case who does a good job is Greg Wise; every one else is just sleep walking. Rather a waste of three hours.
