★★★★★ · Fine mystery · Big Boomer · 2017-12-02
It is always fun to see Barton Churchill performing. This time he is a retired police investigator who is helping a young cop to solve a very mysterious set of murders. There are many fine performances in this little gem of a detective story. The ending will be a surprise after all the red herrings are played out. Certainly a very entertaining 78 minutes. You'll enjoy it.
