Set in Halifax, Missing Persons tells the story of Hetty Wainthropp, and her visit to see old friend Edith where she learns all sorts about her husband's private life. Her discovery convinces her she's capable enough to become a Private Detective.
It's rather theatrical, and a little over the top, having gotten into the TV series I find this one somewhat odd, her character is a little raw, and the mystery itself is a little dull, perhaps it's the production more so than the story, but I'd have to say it's rather dreary.
The series would be a million times better when it returned in 1996, Routledge would somehow feel more the character, and those around her somehow felt right.
It's ok, it's just at odds with the wonderful series.
