"I guess I’m a sucker for black and white. This 1970 independent classic is from writer/director Leonard Kastle, who took over after Martin Scorsese was let go. Shirley Stoler is funny and heartbreaking as the homicidal, jealous companion of scam artist Tony Lo Bianco. Based on a true story, it held particular interest for me because the killers at one point decide to retire to suburban Valley Stream, Long Island, the town where I primarily grew up and directed my first film, Trees Lounge. I once worked with Tony on an episode of the TV series Homicide and excitedly told him he had one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite movies. After sizing me up for a few seconds, he replied, “Well, that would have to be the Honeymoon Killers, and the line of course is, ‘Valley Stream. Valley Stream. What a joke!’”"

I’m slowly working through the Peter Grant series. I found this on easier to follow than previous ones.
At first it is just a story of two missing girls and PC Grant is there to make up the numbers. It does become apparent that there is a supernatural element when unicorns are mentioned!!
I enjoyed the story but I don’t know why there was such an emphasis on the fact that all the people in the Herefordshire village were white. I know Peter is black but I was expecting from the constant reference, for there to be some racial issues. These never materialised so the whole issue was totally irrelevant.
