9/10

A strong message comes through.

A Student makes a vlog about the poverty associated with being a student later, some hours later he falls through the window of a derelict part of the University to his death, but did he jump or was he pushed?

This is another quality mystery, it's a very deep and measured mystery. It's a very clever plot, with some excellent, well rounded characters, you are left wondering until the end.

I love the funny lines between Vera and Aiden, she definitely treats this one better than his predecessor.

As good for the eyes as well as the brain, the visuals of the surrounding area are stunning.

The writer definitely got the message about student debt and the spiralling cost of an education out. Vera has never been political, nor used as a vehicle for social opinions, this one did to some extent, in a good way.

Engrossing. 9/10
