This episode was enjoyable, but only up to a point. I second what others have said here: the last thirty minutes or so was just sloppy and lacked the cleverness we've come to expect from Barnaby. There are several episodes in the last two seasons where it is almost as if the writers gave up and decided they had to wrap things up quickly without a care for continuity or sense. It is rather insulting to the long time viewer. I'll also say it is starting to get a bit offensive to see Barnaby leering at other women. At this point I am only hanging on to get to the end of the John Nettles era. Due to the shoddy writing I will not continue on with the series.
