Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 05/05/2021
Echoes of comfy British detective telly recede as it becomes clear there's more going on than in the average Midsomer Murders. Reasonably engrossing. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 09/28/2020

Joel Keller Decider 09/16/2020
Wants us to piece together the mystery that we're faced with while the story unfolds at the same time. Go to Full Review

John N @RT44955046 10/15/2024 Doesn't live up to its lofty ambitions, but a decent watch if you can forgive the story lapses, cardboard characters, and weak ending, in part due to the glorious scenery. See more Cindy F @RT51715250 10/02/2023 This was twisty and different, which appeals to me. I watch a lot of mysteries and whodunnits, so I found a fresh plot in the stunning landscape of New Zealand very welcome. See more Read all reviews
