The book Daughters of Cain is a very good read, and what this episode managed to do was not only being fairly faithful to the book, but also brilliantly crafted on its own merits. I know they changed a couple of things here and there, but none of the Morse episodes are completely faithful to the books, and I assure you that is not always a bad thing. I thought there was beautiful camera-work, and wonderful close up shots of the city Oxford. The script was of high calibre, as was the direction. The acting was first rate, the obvious standouts being John Thaw and Kevin Whately, but also Tony Haygarth as the brutish husband, Gabrielle Lloyd as his timid wife and Phillis Logan as the terminally ill schoolteacher. Also nice to see Claire Holman as Dr Hobson, bringing some humorous wit to the proceedings. The plot is well told and fairly complicated. Not the most complex episode ever, but a very emphatic and well acted episode. 10/10 Bethany Cox.
