Episode 16 from season 6 this Quincy story was directed by Ray Austin & sees the show in top form. Written by Geoffrey Fischer this is a great episode in my opinion, it just about has it all. There's the murder mystery element that hooks you, there's plenty of sinister goings on, it has a couple of surprisingly effective twists in it, the intriguing premise of Quincy having to almost solve a murder before it has taken place & there's even time for the trade mark social/moral message. There's a fair amount going on in To Kill in Plain Sight with various corrupt politicians trying to get the upper-hand against each other, shady mob dealings, blackmail, assassination attempts & poison darts! It's all here in a great bite-sized 60 minute episode!
Apparently this was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles & I'm sure anyone who lives there will know where it is. On the down side in this episode some of the leaps of faith in the logic are a little hard to swallow. The acting is good as usual from the regular cast & both veteran actors Fritz Weaver & William Prince make for suitably slimy politicians.
To Kill in Plain Sight is another top Quincy story with some nice twists & turns, an absolute must for fans & murder mystery addicts alike!
