Time For Murder: The Murders At Lynch Cross (ITV 1985, Terence Alexander)

The Murders At Lynch Cross takes us to a snow bound hotel where a quintet of guests discover sinister connections with each other, then when a dead body turns up they discover that an escaped prisoner is on the loose…

Like a cross between the classic Agatha Christie style story And Then There Were None and J.B. Priestley’s An Inspector Calls, with everyone being connected in some way. All very hysterical and over-cooked with a good cast floundering some what.
