Jessica is called to assist an agoraphobic young woman called Alice, who is mentally unwell and constantly tended to by a protective Doctor. Jordan Barnett pays a call on Alice, and soon after is found dead.
This is possibly the standout episode from Series nine, this is a very high quality episode. The mystery is incredible appealing, the characters are very rich, and it's unlike any other episode I can think of. They could have filmed this one in black and white, and given it a noir vibe, it would have worked.
As far away from the tone and style of the early years as you could possibly get, this is a much more gritty affair, no laughs or comical characters, this one's more of an evening watch, than tea time viewing.
Anyone that enjoys Chopin is alright by me, amazing how it can elevate a TV series scene.
Herb Edelman was wonderful here as The Guest Detective, maybe best known for his role as Stan on The Golden Girls. Bruce Lansbury was excellent also I thought.
9/10.
