After watching the first episode of this series and being impressed with it, I thought that it would drop off. As it turns out, this episode was as good as any television I've seen. It involves a writer's group that invites a successful novelist to speak to them. They are an odd bunch, either treating him with antagonism or aloofness. Some are downright rude. One of the men who had asked that they not invite this guy has his head bashed in sometime after the meeting. It turns out that he had had a relationship with this writer. What follows are a group of fascinating figures who interact, each with their own mystery story traits, leading to one of the most unsettling conclusions I've seen. The two investigators have to fight duplicity among all these people. Also, the writer has a secret. There are several subplots that eventually align. I love being manipulated by clever plots and twists that pull the rug from under me, and this one did that. I am so excited that there are over a hundred of these episodes to pick from. I know they can't all live up to this one, but there is excellent chemistry.
