Mixed Feelings

The performances continue to be this series' strong point, almost to a fault in fact when it comes to characters like Romeo.
I don't know if it this character in particular, or just a side effect of having voices applied to Derek's writing, but he has created such a truly hateable character, with no redeeming or interesting qualities that he is what I remember most from this episode and has honestly taken away some of the focus from the actual murder mystery itself.

Speaking of which, maybe it is just my own flawed information processing, but in this new age of SP stories, especially this and the most recent book, there seems to be a real excitement from Derek to write a proper murder mystery, which is always fun. But for me personally he has so overcomplicated this one to the point where thinking about the actual mystery is not fun or exciting to try and figure out.
