They simply haven't taken the time to read (or watch) the kind of detective fiction she actually did write.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679390247854141025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-81226955575382651422012-07-20T18:00:04.551-07:002012-07-20T18:00:04.551-07:00Sergio,

They really did a great job of making a gripping adaptation out of what is, to be honest, a rather forgettable story.<br /><br />Didn't know there was a Jonathan Creek connection.<br /><br />CurtThe Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-62260404206803774992012-07-20T03:39:08.162-07:002012-07-20T03:39:08.162-07:00Another great review Curt - if you are catching th...Another great review Curt - if you are catching these on the new Blu-rays, I am very, very envious as they are not available in the UK. "The Affair at the Victory Ball" is probably my favourite from the season - did you spot that a couple of episodes (WASP'S NEST and MARSDON MANOR) were by Joanthan creek creator David Renwick? VICTORY BALL was instead adapted by Andrew Marshall, who up until then had been Renwick's comedy writing partner for the best part of 20 years. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SergioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
