Foyle's War - A Lesson in Murder

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and British wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable program to a new high. A Lesson in Murder concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Hovering over everything is intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war, a homefront crisis making heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh
