Meh!

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this because the external locations were filmed in and around Folkestone, where I live. The primary school location is a mere 100 yards from my front door.

I found it all rather cliched and pretty obvious as to who the "baddie" was. I had him figured out when he faked those tears over the footage of his dead wife. Plus he was creepy as hell, even more so than husband #1.

Some of the dialogue was pretty awful too. One scene the police woman asks Beth whether another character said anything to her before he died. Why did the police woman ask that when both women weres present at said character's death. There were other examples, but after watching the whole thing, those have mercifully erased themselves from my brain.

Fun game to play though.....count how many times the police sidekick chap sucks his breath in over his teeth, like a plumber just before he tells you the job's going to cost more than your mortgage.

Having said that I did like the ending. Wife gets shot of both husbands and gets to live in the nice old house by herself.

Basically, it's alright if you want a simple mystery to solve without having to tax yourself too much.
