Brief review
Entertaining enough. I may have ruined it by watching the series first (though I missed this episode somehow.)
There’s a pace here almost as slow as that of the television show and perhaps one that may mirror the pace of life on a small island separated away from the general business of the world.
A generally well crafted mystery here, though there were bits that were guessable. Seemed an odd plot feature to have one person discovering all the bodies though I’m not sure if it added to the mystery of the story in any way, at least for me.

I've hemmed and hawed over the years about whether I'd want to go back but that I haven't...
