Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Tom Burroughs, John Doull, Gary Cain, Will Matthews.

Just who are the greatest ever fictional detectives? Or perhaps rather, who are the greatest detectives who could give the criminal element a run for their money when it comes to the game.  In The Unthinkable Mystery of The Indigo Star, written by Ed Bixter and directed by Suzy Walker, the game is, as Sherlock Holmes said, “a foot”.

Three men on a train out of Paris; all asked by their Government to investigate the death of Sherlock Holmes and the disappearance of the world famous Indigo Star jewel, surely only Hercule Poirot, Inspector Maigret and Chief Inspector Clouseau can crack the case?

The Unthinkable Mystery of the Indigo Star features three of fiction’s most celebrated detectives: Jules Maigret, Jacques Clouseau and Hercule Poirot, on the hunt for a missing jewel and the murderer of Sherlock Holmes. As the sinister plot unfolds, onboard the Orient Express between Paris and Venice, it becomes clear that their lives – or worse, their reputations – hang in the balance.
