A murder in a College Garden leads Morse to investigate a local choir, one with a very demanding and harsh choir master.
Hard to believe Endeavour has returned for its ninth and final series, I'm sure all fans had the same high hopes for this final series that I've had, it deserves to end on a high.
As a huge fan of the show, I thought this was a real treat, a truly interesting mystery, with lots happening to each of the main characters, and some references to the show's past, (referencing the incredible Neverland from series two.) I only hope Russell Lewis has another project lined up, one incredible skilled writer.
It seemed fitting for a classical music themed episode to kick off proceedings, with Morse close at hand. It's quite a blood thirty episode, there are quite a few deaths to wade through, one of them was ingenious I thought.
It really did feel like the end is in sight, with many changes afoot, Morse has been absent for some time, and everyone has moved on, he feels a little left behind, a scenario that would definitely fit as John That's character takes over.
Great cast, terrific acting, but once again it's the duo of Evans and Allam that dazzle.
Let's hope the other two are as high a standard as this one.
9/10.
