Good movie
These are great movies. You do have to pay attention to catch the implied nuisances of each characters. I am pretty picky about violence and language and the last episode has a despicable character and is my least favorite.

"The Heat of the Sun" is a PBS product, which sets high standards and this is no exception.
You do not know what a mystery will be like until you see it. The program/s were very well done, but it was on PBS, so one should expect no less than very good.
