When a policeman on board is killed in a blind shootout its left to the novelist to work out who's who and what's going on. Part whodunnit and also bordering into gangster film territory I thoroughly enjoyed this atmospheric little film from Networks British film collection.
I do love a snowbound setting and while it's not that blatant in Mystery Junction the film has a claustrophobic feel, like once you head outside anything could happen.
Recommended, glad I picked this up at last.
