Detective Murdoch (Yannick Bisson) isn’t the only one with a mystery on his hands this week. I’m puzzling over why an episode with everything that makes for a great Murdoch Mysteries outing left me less than impressed. It features a fascinating figure from history, it’s often funny despite its grim subject matter, and writer Faisal Lutchmedial clearly knows his characters. It even has Murdoch Vision. Yet in the end, all these elements add up to no more than an okay episode. I blame the A/B story format.
