I agree with other reviewers. This series was good but the Magpie Murders was top notch. It just seemed to flow a little better than this series.
I found myself getting really confused with the characters. Like the actresses' husband looked just like her doctor (not sure of the names). It was just not as smooth and easy to follow as Magpie series.
The string of possible suspects was endless. Everyone was so unlikeable in their own way. This made for an interesting whodoneit.
Atticus was wonderful as usual. A great detective. I'm not sure if I really like Susan but perhaps she is not meant to be that likeable. Even her own sister did not want to confide in her. It was also nice to see Mr. Beard. I really enjoyed his character from the Magpie series as Allen's boy toy. He ended up being a great contributor.
One case had a big twist but the other case was rather obvious, really.
I do hope the series, or ones similar continues.
