Edward Palmer a well respected Headmaster plans a meet with a rent boy, but the assignation goes wrong, with catastrophic consequences. Palmer looks to his daughter for help.
In one word, dark. This is around the time where TV drama was in general quite dark, with some quite bleak stories, the first in the series of Murder in Mind is no exception. It features some grizzly scenes, and some pretty graphic images of drug abuse.
What's interesting is how Catrin becomes the driving force, knowing no limits in the defence of her father.
Superbly acted, Suchet and Kearney are both first rate, the sincerity in their characters is very evident. McAvoy is terrific, how he switches from enticing and comforting to crazed and angry, very skilled.
Very sinister, expect to be shocked and surprised, particularly with the ending, 9/10.
