Pretty good radio play finally again convincing music but unfortunately brillant end.

Short for action: The three ??? come by an opaque client in the hands of a puzzle in the form of a letter which is to divulge the whereabouts of fugitives. More you can actually no longer even without betraying Spoiler warning ..

This episode has the use of many elements from the pen of Arthur Conan Doyle, especially "Sherlock Holmes" a style all their own, and also reminds thus a bit of the old episodes with classical motifs.

While the detectives trying to solve the mystery, attracting more and more on a menacing mood. And when the full extent
the string puller comes to light, to "message from the underworld" developed perhaps the most dangerous case of three ??? at all
- All the more strange that Peter just this time the continuation of the investigation without hesitation agrees, but is still in front of the smallest things is afraid, in this case, a mini-operation ...

Besides this simple logic errors may result 154 but entertain the first 50 minutes class. At this time
I wavered between 4 or even 5 stars.

Particularly surprisingly, I found that one again largely used music for the first time since the Urfolgen with then composer Carsten Bohn, which was recorded with real instruments. This makes its matching orchestration perfectly the topic and the mood. - Too bad that you have again made in this area now three steps backward.

Unfortunately, the end is again just not the same as a highlight. Probably they wanted to the whole mystique and opaqueness still to crown - but unfortunately, the whole then too fanciful and unrealistic.
The henchmen you -if then his "profession" would erfährt- probably very different process with three rowdy boys ...

CONCLUSION: Well: With "message from the underworld" Europe has once again almost everything right,
and apart from the strange end I spend a clear Hörempfehlung.
4 stars from me and a lot of fun!
