At first, it seemed the cast was poorly chosen. However, my thinking was soon re-adjusted on that point. However, I guessed the way in which the victim was murdered, instantly. It was, sadly, the basis of the episode. It was just too transparent. If the writing had been better, I do believe this program would have thrived.
