I'm looking back at this series, having been a big fan for years. This first episode is a very good start, it has a feel of Father Brown for grown ups about it. The interfering religious centre piece, the clueless detective and fifties setting.
It's a very decent mystery, and you are kept on your toes as to who the real guilty party is.
What always strikes me about this series, is just how good Tessa Peake Jones is, so lovable as Raquel, so pious here. She's formidable. Morven Christie is captivating, she and Norton made this first series. 8/10
