The scene opens with an apparent suicide of two young people huddled together in the back of an old car. Evidently the car exhaust is being piped into the interior and they are probably dead. Meanwhile, some beautiful romantic music is playing on a CD player in the car.
The car is so old that I at first thought this was a flashback to several decades ago. But no, turns out that a man and his son (the person in the backseat) were enthusiasts of WWII era vehicles. Very sad.
But wait -- the scene is discovered the next day, but only the young man is there. What happened to the young woman who was entwined is his embrace?
This was an enjoyable mystery, as there were a good number of characters and situations. We have a 45-or-so-year old couple who can no longer stand each other, a quirky dance teacher, a younger woman with a three-year old child, an odd middle aged postmaster, a woman who runs a kennel, and a 50-something photographer with lecherous interests.
I was able to guess the culprit, as a crucial clue was shown briefly fairly early on.
I also loved the WWII era vehicles, the elderly woman pining for her lost brother, and the 1940s dance theme. Well done!
