I didn't see the bad review the posters are alluding to - guess I missed it - but I liked this episode just fine.
The story concerns Lord Holm, who once served a prison sentence for killing his wife. His home is now a rehab center, I guess we might call it a halfway house here, for ex-offenders.
The center is run by two ex-police officers, Gina and Jack Colby. Barnaby once worked with Jack and they were close friends; however, Jack left the department in disgrace, and he is unwilling to talk to Barnaby. His wife, Gina, who had a wonderful career in law enforcement, left it as well.
When Barnaby sees that one Eddie Marston is coming to the house, he becomes concerned, as Eddie is trouble. Then Jack is found dead and Eddie is missing.
In his quest to find the killer, Barnaby discovers blackmail, a possible affair, and some unsettling things from the past.
I thought this was a fine episode, very involving. It's another sad one, though, and sad in a way for Barnaby as well.
Definitely recommended.
