7/10

An odd story, but pretty good.

Henry Cornwallis, famous mountaineer has vanished, his wife has claimed on the insurance, but he's been spotted in Switzerland, Inspector Gamble goes to investigate.

What an odd and curious episode this is, and I'm not totally sure what I thought about it. It actually felt like a different show, but it's still watchable, the issue here is that it felt like melodrama, something the show hasn't done before.

Not the usual format, you aren't waiting to here who or how, curiously you're waiting to hear why.

Definitely watchable, I'm just wondering what this show's fascination with Switzerland was, mentioned in most of the episodes.

Peter Jeffrey was really good here, he played the part well, even if it's a rather curious part.

A curious one, but rather good, 7/10.
