Featured review
A seasonal classic.
A prominent Cabot Cove resident is suspected of trying to kill a woman with a questionable attitude to men already in relationships.
It's a quality episode, I may be completely wrong, but is this the first Christmas special? If there have been others prior to this, I apologise, it goes to show just how popular this wonderful show was, and how broad its appeal was.
Such an engaging mystery, I loved the crime, the characters, Wanda in particular, the blackmail, even the cassette, there truly are so many cracking elements here, it really is a classic mystery.
I loved the solution, there really was a degree of cleverness about it, it's so well imagined.
It seems like so long since we had a Cabot Cove set episode, and whilst it's perhaps difficult to imagine Maine looking like that in December, it's great to see Seth and Metzger.
A Christmas Classic, 9/10.
