This is just another identi-kit cop v. possibly crazy murderer. All the
usual Lynda La Plante characters are there and the story seems to be little
more than a low rent version of Prime Suspect. Did the crazy son do it?
Who the *** cares. Probably not. The story drags on for 60 minutes and
guess what? Another murder just before the end. Sigh. I suppose it's better
than Taggert with a body per ad break :-)

The plot doesn't break any new ground (a body in a tin can was done in CSI
some time ago) and the dialogue is mechanical. Then there's the doll
collector sister? S'truth, don't bother attempting to hide the other
probably crazy character.

It's me-too TV. Why not just repeat Prime Suspect?



Hugely disappointing balls. I thought the characterisation ("feisty" female
in charge walking round with a face like a smacked arse, bumbling male
counterpart) was appallingly simplistic, hackneyed and sexist.

A waste of an hour.
