This boxset contains five dramatisations of Minette Walters stories, featuring: The Ice House; The Scolds Bridle; The Echo; The Dark Room and The Sculptress.

What is it like to kill? What drives a man or a woman to such extremes? The stories journey through a kaleidoscope of human emotions: anger, hatred, bitterness, remorse, guilt, horror. In this psychological study of humanity on the edge of an abyss, some of the series' murderers get away with it, some of them don't. Amongst the subject matter is euthanasia, accidental murder, contract killing, revenge and even a sleepwalker who knows she's done something but not what or to whom.

Unusual for me but I didn't finish watching this. Mediocre storyline didn't get me in.

Very enjoyable made-for-TV Brit drama with good quality writing and performances from just about everyone - even Joely Richardson was bearable. Having said that, a few leaps of faith had to made for the story to stick together, but this was not too hard to do given its theme of redemption.
