A blackmailer meets a sticky end, after one of his victims finds an ingenious way to kill him, and land an unbreakable alibi, Superintendent Meredith has his work cut out for him, as the scenario seems almost impossible.
I love a locked room mystery, and this is one that would have troubled both Jonathan Creek and Poirot. This is a very smart, clever mystery, and would give us an idea of what would come in future years, the sheer imagination of Wallace, the twists, turns and downright impossible.
Maybe it wasn't too hard to work out who, but what was fascinating was how, there is a major clue, but seeing it revealed, that was impressive.
It's nicely made, well shot and very well acted, loved the main players, Bernard Lee, David Knight and of course Francis de Wolff, who did a great line in villains.
8/10.
