Despite you know, the murder, I thought this one was a little silly. I can say I enjoyed the meal description at the end of soup, and fish, and beef and a rice souffle. I didn't see the reveal coming, but then the ending at the port was just solid. Poor Hastings though, the way his face falls when he's told it's his car.

That was a beautiful car *and* a beautiful boat. But that was the first clue. The boat cost a packet and couldn’t be bought on a private secretary’s, I mean valet’s salary. Not sure how the car dealer guy knew he had it though because they’d never met.

Favorite line: “Tomorrow’s the last day. I’ve got it marked in my diary. It says ‘Decide about car’”
