S16E3, Wild Harvest: Elegant opening scene unfurls into a chaotic dog eat dog environment. A creepy midnight woods murder and you've got yourself a bloody mystery full of mushrooms and scenic green fields. Akin to Sherlock's Baskerville's Hound, the intriguing theme sizzles out quickly. Sarah is on maternity leave while Sykes is off his usual nosh--I'll take this side on the plate, yes, Chef! Hmm...the plot rests as a bore until well, the boar! Nelson and Dr. Wilding are here, but there's actually nothing wild about that. Oh, I miss Jones. Still, the plot thickens up and gets quite saucy. So, the beginning is not appetizing, but I'd take another serving of this episode as all the ingredients combine. 3 out of 5 stars! And it seems I've developed an excellent palate for murder since I guessed the secret recipe with 20 minutes left to spare--which did indeed leave a good taste in my mouth. Oh, and the final reveal was the icing on the cake! Ah, but I'm sure you'll be a satisfied customer now that my fun puns have eaten up a lot of your time!
