	Foyle's War - A Lesson in Murder (5.0 / 5.0) By this third episode of Foyle's War, series creator Anthony Horowitz has his characters' fundamentals and British wartime milieu well in hand; he rewards himself by taking this remarkable program to a new high. <I>A Lesson in Murder concerns a cluster of terrible deaths--a jailhouse suicide provoked by abusive police, the monstrous killing of a child, the murder of a judge--directly or indirectly tied to a military draft board tainted by scandal. As Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) investigates the linkages, his two prized assistants, driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and Detective Milner (Anthony Howell), become personally involved with a pair of naive wartime casualties. Hovering over everything is intensifying gloom over Germany's imminent declaration of war, a homefront crisis making heroes of some and scoundrels of others. Fortunately, steadfast Foyle is there to separate one from the other. --Tom Keogh		$12.63
	Foyle's War - The German Woman (4.5 / 5.0) Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen), the sober yet heartening hero of the exemplary new mystery series Foyle's War, isn't so much a reserved Englishman as he is an all-around minimalist. He might not approve of lavish praise, but he's a man used to spinning gold from disappointment. Stuck investigating murders while lesser colleagues are given key intelligence posts to fight Hitler in 1940, a restless Foyle is faced with the brutal killing of a German woman in a coastal village. Was it misplaced revenge against all of Germany that did her in, a controversial family trust, or something else--something worse? While Foyle deliberates and stews in career frustration, he has a paradoxical, revivifying effect on several human casualties of war and on justice itself. A fine mystery and a welcome detective hero. --Tom Keogh		$12.82
	Foyle's War - Eagle Day (5.0 / 5.0) The first suite of episodes in the <I>Foyle's War series comes to a thrilling conclusion with "Eagle Day," a tense and historically fascinating story in which Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) goes toe-to-toe with guardians of England's Official Secrets Act. For a very personal reason, too: Foyle's R.A.F. pilot son, Andrew (Julian Ovenden), first seen in episode 1 and an off-screen emotional presence for the detective in subsequent programs, is falsely accused of stealing documents pertinent to Britain's fledgling, 1940 experiments with radar. An outraged Foyle knows the charge is connected to a cover-up involving a murdered truck driver, a suicidal air force technician, and--of all things--a possible art theft. Series creator Anthony Horowitz's script, as usual, reflects tremendous research: details about the radar program, the Secrets Act, and why ice cream trucks disappeared from England's roads are not to be missed. <I>--Tom Keogh		$12.64
