Very clever
30 August 2005
'Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are' continues Thriller's winning third series with an extremely clever whodunit which keeps the viewer guessing for the entire duration.

John Carson makes his second Thriller appearance. He previously featured in 'Possession' and is probably best known for his superb turn as Mr Lenoir in Southern TV's The Famous Five: Five Go To Smuggler's Top from 1978. Now he is cast as dour hotelier Arthur Lewis complete with a drink problem and whose version of what occurred the previous night is at considerable odds with the tale recounted by Lynda Day George's beautiful American tourist, Cathy More.

So what did happen? Cathy is adamant she checked in to the hotel with her friend Jane Howard. Lewis is adamant she didn't and Peter Jeffrey gives a tour-de-force performance as the misogynistic detective Dexter whose job is to solve the mystery.

There are a number of clever twists in the story and you will be kept guessing right until the very end.

An excellent and accomplished piece.
