9/10

Brutal and captivating.

Writer Rosalind Leigh is handed a new project, the story of Olive Martin, aka The Sculptress, an obese woman imprisoned for the brutal murders of her mother and sister.

The first of The BBC's dramatisations of the books of Minette Walters. The book is excellent, justice is done with this excellent adaptation. It's brutal, powerful, intense and intriguing. You will question Olive's guilt, and the behaviour of those involved.

Quirke is superb as The Sculptress, I can remember thinking at the time it's a long way from Birds of a Feather, I was left in no doubt as to talents of the actress behind Sharon Theodopolopodous after this, it's a superb performance. Christopher Fulford and Caroline Goodall are fantastic also.

There is a temporary lull in the middle as the focus switches away from Olive, but the beginning and ending are superb. 9/10
