Three women have turned up dead in a month’s time and the killer’s timeline seems to be escalating. When the killer takes a necklace from his latest victim, giving to to his unfaithful wife, he unknowingly seals his fate. As Luther investigates, he realizes the only way a young woman would get into a car with a man she doesn’t know is that the killer is a taxi driver. When they bring in the suspected man’s wife for questioning, the necklace in the picture of his third victim – and subsequently around her neck – proves to be more than the woman can handle. But nabbing the man is going to be trickier than he’d suspect.
My Thoughts:
I have a problem with the man’s wife, because she felt too weak to be likable. I understand that she didn’t want her husband to kill himself, but honestly, if you’re in a situation you need to get out of, you find a way to do it. Leaving someone does not make you responsible if their cowardly enough to take their own life.
The wife braining the husband with the hammer was not that much of a surprise. Afterall, her reaction to the necklace was particularly violent, and it was apparent that she loved the man she was having an affair with – where she didn’t love her husband – so another, more violent, reaction was the most plausible outcome there.
