Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for armchair detectives and crime fans. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 15 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A young woman's knowledge of Shakespeare helps her solve a five-year-old mystery.
