osy Christie update with Bixby as a computer expert drawn into a sequence of murders in a small village. It begins when he encounters Hayes on the train London, where she says she is going to Scotland Yard to tell them of the suspicious deaths and tell them who was responsible. However, minutes after leaving the train, she is run down in a hit-and-run and killed. So Bixby decides to inyrtvrnr snd proceeds to meet the long list of eccentrics suspects, including the welcome presence of elegant De Havilland and luscious Down, among the veteran character actors. Jones is droll as the local bobby. The story is undercooked but pleasant to view and the mystery is suitable tangled. The most jarring scene ihas Bixby in a computer room to analyse his deductions and the place is full of whirring machines and clunky terminals that perhaps looked like the height of modernity in 1982.
