After the shock departure of Ben Miller (DI Richard Poole) followed by the sudden departure of Kris Marshall (DI Humphrey Goodman) the shows makers could have taken a decision which could have led to the shows demise.
Instead they made one of those decisions that are made once or twice in a career. Ardal O'Hanlon as DI Jack Mooney fits effortlessly into the well defined and very fluid cast. The idea of having his daughter with him looks well chosen and the way he is being gradually sucked into the job is both clever and mirrors the way previous incumbents efforts to leave the island was nicely thwarted by police commissioner Commander Selwyn Patterson.
The story is very interesting dealing with the murder of Drop the Dead Donkeys Joy Merryweather (Susannah Doyle) 8 years previous. The case is reopened when a witness comes forward after the event with further information which throws the verdict into dispute. For Big Bang Theory Fans.. nice to see Barry Kripke. Nice story, nice humour (especially bar scene with Florence and jack Mooney) and another lovely episode.
