A very sappy, soap opera like heavy episode where crime investigation is secondary. The Hathaway (Laurence Fox) state of mental conflict is a rough sell given how bland he can be normally. Hathaway's convenient miraculous memorization of literature just at the right time to help introduce clues needed to solve the case is being over used.
An interesting story but many components were British detective mystery staples pieced together. The arrogant upperclass family, robotically loyal servant, dirty family secret, dead body on a bus, stained clothing reveals a clue, buried body under their nose, and so on.
Not unwatchable but a big dropoff from stellar previous episodes. Kevin Whately appears in his third different (most natural) style toupee with his own hairline in the previous episode mix.
