The best episode for quite a while and it had a very different feel, similar to the earlier seasons. There were plenty of good characters and an intriguing story. I was really enjoying this, right up until the last ten minutes. As seems to be the case nowadays, the ending felt rushed.
Barnaby's solving of the case hinges on him realising that the killer knew that a certain person didn't have a scar. Now Barnaby wasn't present when the killer discovered this fact, and the spy cameras didn't witness the event either, so how did Barnaby know which one of the suspects knew about the lack of a scar?
Also, I'm no legal expert but I doubt that the CPS would allow a material witness (somebody who placed the accused at the crime scene) to conduct the case for the prosecution at the trial.
Overall, very solid but not great.
