Supt. Wycliffe keeps the Cornish coastline free from crime as he tackles arsonists, kidnappers and the odd psycho. Charles Wycliffe is an old fashioned and grumpy detective dedicated to his profession. He uses only conventional means to solve his cases and tries to stay within the realm of the law. He is usually wearing a long trench coat, the classic detective garment. In this episode, a bookshop owner in Penzance is brutally murdered. Wycliffe discovers that there is a LOT of friction among the members of the family.
The scenery of this area is very stunning. The characters can be quite quirky!! Many times Wycliffe is speeding around tight and winding roads to gather evidence or track a suspect. I don’t know how Wycliffe was able to solve this murder?? It seemed like too many people were involved and they all had motive and opportunity. I didn’t have a clue about who was the guilty person?? 3 1/2* (I liked this episode)
