This week, we bring you the last episode in the Dark Water 2 series. Muriel Barnett was a widowed socialite who was killed on a cruise ship. Her personal assistant was in the room at the time, but was passed out drunk and can't recall what happened. After several months, a motive was finally uncovered in a series of events that news outlets claim are "worthy of an Agatha Christie novel".
