Episode 42: A MIDSUMMER NIGHTMARE
Written by: Brian Clemens
Produced by: Ian Fordyce
Directed by: Don Leaver
(GB-Erstsendung 15. Mai 1976)
US: Appointment With A Killer
frz: Cauchemar d'une nuit d'été
A Midsummer Nightmare firmiert wie K Is for Killing eher als Experiment, funktioniert aber besser. Auf Gruselelemente wird weitgehend verzichtet, stattdessen wird uns die Amateurdetektivin Jody Baxter vorgestellt, die versucht, eine Jahre zurückliegende Mordtat aufzuklären.
