A well-thought and written story beginning with a confession of guilt, proving to be not all that true or successful attempt at self-defense from an abusive spouse. Follow the evidence as DI Poole would direct including the found victim, his watch, a button, a sun-bed mattress and a pistol belonging to a third party; of course, there is the affair between married couples, too. The phone found on the victim belonged to his wife and contained an assortment of lewd texts between his spouse and another man.
Poole uses his team members to seek the evidence, a history behind the arguments among adults to reveal the truth of the matters at hand. A dead end provides an avenue in a positive direction toward solving the crime. There were actually multiple crimes, the murder, the intended murder, the complicity and the police officer assault allowing for the lost murder weapon to be found.
A concluding summary was provided by the accomplice-wife describing her actions as loyal, trying to protect a philandering husband. She intended to save herself but he is to pay for his crimes.
Poole's revelation came when he comments at the station with magnifying glass in his hand something about the answer can be in plain sight, for all to see, but can be overlooked by most. His epiphany comes when inspects the photos he took from the suspect's villa noticing the sun-mattress buttons. His view of the found cell phone text messages helps him wrap the case along with the dumpster tossed mattress. The stopwatch recorded a chronology of the actual murder and disposal of the body. The gun Patrick used to kill Lucas belonged to Greg Collins, owned for killing rats and rabbits.
An above standard who-dun-it for the series with Poole making a duel arrest with handcuffs and the not so innocent other spouse planning to plea self-defense.
