"You know I like a mystery.", 8 April 2017
Miss Fisher is contacted by a theater producer to investigate a ghost. That's right – a ghost. However, before she can uncover the mysterious apparition, she and Detective Inspector Jack Robinson watch on as the lead actor in the theater's latest musical performance keels over dead while on stage. It looks like some sort of poisoning. Are the recent reports of a ghost in the theater and the death on stage related?Ruddy Gore is another excellent episode in the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries series. The mystery in this one is quite interesting – even if I saw through the whole thing and spotted the murderer straight away. Plenty of suspects to keep things lively. The ghost's appearance was a lot of fun, even if it reminded me of something straight out of Scooby Doo – in fact, I'd be shocked if at some point a ghost didn't appear in an episode of Scooby Doo in exactly the same manner presented in Ruddy Gore. The writers give plenty of clues to figure it all out. The acting in this episode is, once again, top notch. I've run out of superlatives to describe Essie Davis. The stunt work here is also very good with a nice alley-way fight scene. The ending was very satisfying with Miss Fisher gathering all the suspects together for the final reveal. Finally, the budding relationship between Dot and Hugh gets a kick in the seat from Miss Fisher, but only after Hugh gives Dot a very unromantic pair of rain boots for her birthday.
8/10
