A good story, though somewhat predictable. The crime reporter seems to be the most interesting and well-rounded character. The boarding house setting is well drawn out and makes a good backdrop for the story. I can almost see the rooms in my mind.

BTW, Hitchcock did a film called, "The Lodger". Old black and white, the Ripper, etc. So I think ole' George lifted a bit of this story from the movie . . .

The news clips that frame the story are as interesting as the tale itself. Though it's kind of funny to hear a regional news fellow talk about "his own sources" in the national Watergate scandal. But again, we would hope that a RMT story would stand the test of time on its own merits; no news required.

A good encode copy as well. But I guess I prefer the more imaginative tales; scifi or exotic locations or historical settings, etc. RMT did contemporary reality stories, such as this one, as well as any of the older series' ever did. And I do like them as a change-up-pitch, so to speak. But all in all this isn't a favorite story for me.

Not that I'm complaining! Far from it!
