I do love this episode for the most part. Angsty teens mixed with good ones, older townsfolk mixed with young ones... as is real life. But for the life of me, it has never made sense why the couple that were looking to buy the house were murdered. The murderer was WANTING to sell but he kills the people that want to buy..... makes no sense. I,too, wondered why Scott left. He was a bit off at first... thinking he was too good for midsomer, flirting all the time.... but he seemed to be finding his place as the series went on and took the role more seriously. Towards the end of season 8 he was actually being a detective and doing a good job. Wish someone would close the loop on why he left.

I love connecting dots. I love spotting people I know from other British shows or return guest actors doing other roles. Also, finding famous people before they became famous...

Near perfection from start to finish. Perhaps my 9 out of 10 is due to how difficult this is to watch because of what it reveals about human nature. The need for peace, the need for closure, for security, for justice and how vulnerable we all are when we love and feel. The inner struggle of Poirot throughout the film is so shown so well. The musical score keeps you on your toes and the casting is on point. I'm sorry for all those who have portrayed Hercule Poirot and will portray him, but David Suchet will always be Poirot for me.
