Cover her face is a satisfying mystery, it possesses a great deal of intrigue, boasts a very good cast, and provides an interesting snapshot of life at the time, thoughts and attitudes.
The first three parts are a little slow, it does take its time to get going, from Part four onwards it takes on a whole new life, and picks up the pace. When one of the main characters is removed, I would argue the show isn't made better by their demise, that individual adds a lot to the story. Parts 4 and 6 I would suggest are the best.
The attitudes and behaviours towards pregnant and single women are so at odds with those most of us hold nowadays, the thought on there being institutions for single mothers, bizarre.
The acting is very good, Phyllis Calvert is the standout, a remarkably talented actress, Julian Glover is also good.
Dalgleish is strong throughout and charismatic, he makes his presence known, and remains dogged in pursuit of the killer.
It's an engaging whodunnit.
Intriguing, 7/10.
