Thoughts
This was a lot better than I’d expected it to be, lovely Sandy running around being slightly hopeless but also getting to the heart of the mystery. I liked the two partners being antagonistic towards each other to start with but gradually growing to respect, if not like, each other.
I feel like not everything was wrapped up as neatly as it should have been - the two brothers took over the gambling debts but the original debt holder still exists so surely the danger is still out there? And some elements didn’t age as well as you’d like, the costumes, the disguises. But it was fun and that’s all I ask for at the moment.
