Morse
finds himself at the top of the suspect list when a lady friend,
Beryl Newsome is stabbed at a dress rehearsal for the local
production of the Magic Flute...
Masonic
Mysteries gives us a rare opportunity to see Morse in
a unusually vulnerable light as he becomes the victim of a
gross injustice. The friendship that Morse and Lewis have
is under pressure, only to emerge stronger than ever - Morse's
trust in Lewis and Lewis's loyalty to Morse is never more
apparent than in this episode.
Real
edge of the seat stuff, although it can be a bit far-fetched
in places. Some nice scenes, especially the one when Morse
is in the ambulance - you really feel sorry for him.
This
episode also features a brief guest appearance from composer
Barrington Pheloung (he's dressed as a bird in the opening
scene). There is also a scene which the continuity department
should have picked up. In the scene where they visit Marion
Brooke, you can see John Thaw's microphone under his tie.
One of the best episodes so far.
An
ex- deputy police commissioner Charlie Hillan is writing a
book of unsolved cases when he is suddenly murdered. He is
found with a chapter of his book missing which relates to
the murder of a young girl committed 18 years ago. Morse thinks
there could be a connection and that the two killings could
be related...
Second
Time Around is an excellent episode, although rather sad
as it involves the death of a young child and you clearly
see that this has an effect upon Morse.
There
is an excellent scene where Morse and Redpath are in the interview
room and Morse suddenly realises exactly who Redpath actually
is. Oliver
Ford-Davies stars as Frederick Redpath, while Dawson
is expertly played by Kenneth Coley.
This
is a case which even surprises Morse, a thoroughly enjoyable
episode.
