St Crispin's is looking for a new headmaster, and two internal candidates go head to head against one another. Student Colin Forbes pressures another, Mike Seresino, into stealing a test paper, the attempted theft unearths a dead body.
This has to be the most unique episode of Murder, she wrote that I've seen for some time, that's the major strength, and something of a draw back, it simply doesn't feel like any other episode that I can think of.
As with the previous episode, the map of Cabot Cove seems to be expanding, so as well as a planned hotel complex, we now have a Public school, one that's never been mentioned before.
I don't recall seeing the typical mean Jock on the show before, Trevor St John played the part of Colin very well.
Always great to see the excellent Michael Dotrice, a fine, commanding performance from him.
This one stands out, it feels very different.
7/10.
