    "Lewis" has a distinctly more eccentric edge to it than "Inspector Morse" usually did - more and more, it seems, storylines are edging towards the absurd as the series continues. This one tries to mix up harsh realities with an Agatha Christie or "Murder, She Wrote" ambience, and there's a further resemblance to "Cluedo" and to other board games. It's permissible, too, to wonder whether or not scriptwriter Alan Plater re-read George Orwell's famous essay "Decline Of The English Murder" before he began typing. Keeping all these disparate plot elements going simultaneously requires quite a juggling act, but Plater just about manages it, and it's an entertaining episode.moreless
