It's an interesting concept for an episode, but ended up a bit messy and in need of more grounding. My main problem with the story was the method of the murders. They just seemed a bit contrived and too clever - especially when we discover the perpetrator. I'm not spoiling much when I say the killing was done with poison, but the way it was administered to the victims was borderline silly. A team of the world's most skilled assassins couldn't have pulled off these murders.
Endeavour/Morse/Lewis are at their best when they explore the interesting motives and interpersonal connections behind a crime. The method of the murder usually rather banal. In this case, too much of the plot hinges on how the murder could possibly have been accomplished.
