    There's nothing inherently wrong with TV movies, and this one is strongly reminiscent of certain other US detective shows from around 1990. It's not boring. But neither is it good.

    There's a 'fiction about fiction' theme in which an attempt to write the perfect murder story is intertwined with actual murder. But it's not *good* fiction, as you find out when the identity of the killer is finally revealed. You might hope that the film would transcend the cliches of its genre, but instead it reinforces them, and excuses them by being 'fiction about fiction'. There are unexpected twists, and then there are silly ones, and this movie sides with silliness.

    Do not be put off by how old this movie is. It is really well written and acted and has a really gripping and enjoyable plot. Pierce has a great back catalogue and it is really worth discovering his pre-Bond roles. Enjoy - both of us did!

    terrible film. I also thought this was a new film, as recently added, very disappointed. tv film but not worth watching. If you think you might like it, reconsider unless you are a Miss Marple fan and even then, dont bother
