Dreadful, depressing and boring.
Not cosy at all. Two hours in and, apart from finding a corpse, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. She just talks over and over about how sad she is about her mother having died, and commiserating with the son of the victim about losing a parent. Over and over.
It took, and I'm not kidding here, 1h and 45 m for them even to REALISE it was a murder.
