A croupier, who's been fiddling his bosses is shot dead before escaping the country, his killers were unaware that an eye witness watched the events happen from a concealed spot.
This is the first episode I've seen from the 1970's, up until now I've only seen those from the 60's, as I expected, very different, a lot more gritty, it's more Z Cars, less cosy, genteel crime.
I quite enjoyed it, I liked the story, I liked the group of characters, I enjoyed the acting, particularly Stephen Greif and Gwyneth Powell.
It's perhaps a little hard to believe some of the events, they did seem to find her quite quickly, and the capture came as something of a let down, but all in all, pretty good.
Agatha Christie fans will definitely recognise the hotel location, a well known place, the setting for Evil under The Sun, and an inspiration to the great writer, it looks fantastic.
I liked Steve Plytas here, who played the Greek villain, Mr Colly, he did a line in villains, but I will forever think of him as Kurt from Fawlty Towers.
7/10.
