I really liked the lighting in this episode. The director and the cinematographer has spent a lot of time establishing some of the arty shots.
Northumberland University student, Jamie Marshall records a ranting Vlog and then supposedly throws himself of a disused faculty building.
Vera investigates the death and finds out that Jamie might not all he seems to be. As a university security guard and a building surveyor are reluctant for the police to go up the dilapidated building to investigate, sets off alarm bells in Vera.
Vera discovers that Jamie uncovered a scam regarding the refurbishment of the building which would cost the university millions.
However Jamie also knew that his father was involved in a hit and run death some years earlier, the victim's father was a bouncy castle owner who Jamie had contacted. Then there is a rugby player who seems to be unduly upset at Jamie's death whose father is a well known lawyer. The suspects mount up.
There was a lot of plot strands here which sets the mystery up nicely and one of the stronger episodes in the seventh series.
