Trivia
After Lynley & Havers finish unpacking at the caravan park, they go out for a drink at an establishment that is playing Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue". All of the young pattrons are up and dancing '50s style. Barbara says to Tommy, "Did you ever dance like that back in the day". Tommy replies, "That'll be the day". A clever script insert referring also to Buddy Holly.

Goofs
Notice Lynley's ring while driving near the beginning. It is on the middle ringer of his left hand. Later on it is shown on the ring finger of his left hand. Interesting.

Quotes
Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley: [Entering morgue and hearing rock music being played] It's hardly appropriate music, is it?
Lafferty: [Referring to the corpse] Well, it's not for him; it's for me.

Manners havent improved!

Despite a brief appearance from "helen 3" Lynley is still going around as though he is something near to a great detective. Given when this was written, he has to be the hero which may well explain a surprise ending as to who ultimately is the killer but he leaves Havers and the rest of the team trying to work out what his thought processes are. Some nice Suffolk locations for this one and good individual performances from members of the cast. The Lynley character doesnt come across like a "hero"!
