Love this series, but this show didn't quite get it for me. A good half of it seemed to be spent on Elery's kitchen plumbing problem and not on the mystery, and that was sort of a cop out, as there really wasn't enough in the mystery story to really sink our teeth into.
Well, for the plumbing side .... it was supposed to be played for comedy but I've done too much household plumbing repair to ever find any humor in the efforts. Here Ellery is utterly incompetent and lost, even though he has a "How To" book in hand.
In the mystery, a man is found hanged in his garden, but he first died from a stab wound. No one seems to have a motive to kill him, and everyone has an alibi. The solution is unique to the series, so far as I know.
