Gory but gripping, 18 June 2001
10/10
Author: dominodancing from Surrey, England

This is an interesting new way (if you exclude the first T&R!) of presenting a murder case. It follows the story from the first murder to the verdict in court.

A serial killer is stalking women in London, torturing them and then murdering them. When suspects are arrested the police face a difficult task to get to the bottom of the mystery. Any more would give it away!

The story has much graphic violence but it is in context and adds realism to an already gripping piece of television.

The story benefits from superb performances from the cast but special praise must go to David Hayman and Kate Buffrey who both portray realistic police officers trying to get the right result.

If you like your murder mysteries with a new slant on them, try this. The good news is that there are altogether four of these stories with the first also being exceptional.

Well done Lynda La Plante and well done ITV for making and showing it.
