Henry Fallon, who is wheelchair bound and is suffering from a neurological disorder, apparently commits suicide and Morse has mixed feelings working on this case as he was once engaged to the dead man's wife, Susan Fallon. The body was found by his son-in-law Peter Rhodes, a local antiques dealer and the victim's wife was in London. When Fallon's doctor advises Morse that Henry didn't have the physical capability to hold a gun to his head, the police realize they may have a murder on their hands. When the police are told that the business arrangement between Fallon and Rhodes had fallen apart, they also have a suspect. Lewis is concerned that Morse is too close to Mrs. Fallon to be objective but in the end, the perpetrators are identified.

Mtime网友：这个题材，做成这样，真的很不容易了。尤其是，影片在影像上非常有特点，大量的特写镜头、跟拍、手持，以及碎片式剪辑，营造出强烈的恐慌与不安感。这种情绪，其实就是角色在片中的情绪，它以影像的方式，最直接延伸给观众。
丢豆网网友：一个好的导演，是会调教演员的，知道演员的优势在哪里。《摩斯探长第六季》像极了一道来自异域的夏日甜品，虽然不是主菜的配置，但却也有着勾人的独特风情。坦白说，最初的确是冲着约翰·马登 导演的名号看的，毕竟人家讲故事的功力摆在那里，但一开始就入了坑也是我怎么都没料到的。
豆瓣网网友：放在豆瓣语境下，是部时至今日终于拍出来的英国 “高分欧美剧”。拿现实题材拍商业类型片，社会意义摆在那，群戏也处理得相当不错。对英国 而言，这样的电影多一部是一部，走一步是一步。
