My frustration with various reviews is the idea that we have to compare John Barnaby to Tom Barnaby, Joyce Barnaby to Sarah Barnaby and investigation styles from one detective to another. Poor Ben, single and available dares to have a girlfriend, and John is suddenly complacent and slow. Ben has lived there for a longer time and knows the people. John is getting his bearings.
Joyce was a stay-at-home mom, Sarah a working professional. Nothing wrong with either. Before the arrival of John, Joyce was criticized as a bit of a 'ditzy' blonde. But she often contributed to the investigations.
This episode is full of red herrings, but woven into an interesting and thoughtful story.
