Jessica has accepted an invitation from her friend Emma in Hong Kong, no sooner has she arrived, then Emma is kidnapped, Jessica soon learns that things are done very differently there, but of course she soon gets embroiled In a murder.
A good, solid opening to The Tenth series, it's not a favourite episode, and I don't think there's anything particularly memorable, but it's very watchable and well acted. Once again, the murder happens later on, allowing that story time to develop. Lots of clues to watch out for, I definitely think this one has shades of Sparkling Cyanide by Agatha Christie.
Interesting to think of Hong Kong still under British rule, it has changed so much since The Chinese took over it.
It's nice to see a little more diversity in the casting, and while I'll admit there are perhaps a couple of stereotypes at play, they don't actually detract.
A decent job making it appear that Jessica is in Hong Kong, there is some pretty good stock footage, mixed in, it looks pretty good.
One of the only times our wonderful Jessica looks horrendous, in a seriously old fashioned frock, fortunately she soon gets back to smart clothes.
Well acted all round, Soon-Tek Oh, Dustin Nguyen and David Warner were both very good I thought.
7/10.
