    Dear Robert,

    Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful mystery.  I truly enjoy stories from Canada.  I lived for a short time in Toronto, Ontario back in the 1970s and I enjoyed hearing radio dramas from the CBC back then.

    An excellent production of a great novel. Thanks

    BTW - Stef Penney is also responsible for last year's terrific adaptation of Moby Dick.
