Ruth Rendell Mysteries (TV Series) The Best Man to Die: Part One (1990) User Reviews

An intriguing start

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 3 November 2018]

Two totally random events, which can't possibly be connected begin this episode. How on Earth could a woman in a coma be linked to a dead best man?

It's an intriguing start, and a fine episode, the pace is of course moderate, and probably slow by today's standards, but the intrigue and quality of writing are definitely there.

Baker is very strong in this one, Reg is very snappy compared to his usual placid demeanor.

Intriguing. 8/10

The wrong side of the law

I watched this as an omnibus. The stories have been better this series with the 3 partners passing more quickly with quality writing and several familiar faces in this storyline. Great news for Mike and the Wexfords make for a happy ending.
