I’ve stayed in the Jury’s penthouse suites and I didn’t recognise the one in the show, could have been nearby though as you say.

Just to add, a couple of posters have said that Jury’s doesn’t have penthouse suites which is true. But, there are penthouse apartments above Jury’s, I stayed in one for the 2019 Labour Party conference.

I'm sure it's a failing in me, but I've tried to read the books and there's something about Peter James's writing that I just can't take. It's not just him - I struggle to finish even a page of Terry Pratchett, Val McDermid or Mervyn Peake. I wanted to like them, so I'm glad they're being dramatised ...

How can you not read Terry Pratchett? The guy was a genius when it came to satire. Incredibly funny and incredibly clever.

Different people like different things. Somebody gave me a Terry Pratchett book for Christmas a couple of years ago. I’ve not yet managed to get past page 30......

Proust, on the other hand......

So, thought this was going to be a new series but turns out it's a one off with another 'one off' later in the year!

I hadn’t even realised it was going to be ‘the whole story in one episode’ when I started to watch.

Had just assumed it was going to be a 2 or 3 parter or something. I know I could have checked the TV listings etc and seen it was a one-off, but that’s a bit of a faff from Dubai.

After a while it became apparent they were going to cover it all in about 95+ minutes, once you take out the ads, credits etc. Did diminish it a little in my mind, I’d rather have it seen it develop over a couple of nights than be neatly packed into a “Midsomer” one-off format.

Same with me read one book and had a spitting image moment of the Jeffrey Archer sketch when writing his next book at a typewriter "crap, crap, crap, crap........."

It was OK as a TV drama

Agree when they were in the woods checking out the building site, when they pulled the corrugated stuff back that would have been a perfect cliffhanger.

I do miss waking up to the sound of seagulls.

I wish they wouldn’t wake me up every morning, the novelty has worn off for me, I’m at least a mile from the beach and I’m sure some of them in my area have never seen the sea. :glare:

So was it just a one off show?
