What happens

A Difficult Woman is an Australian television series which screened in 1998 on the ABC. The four part series starred Caroline Goodall, in the title role of a woman whose best friend is murdered and is determined to find out why. It was written by Nicholas Hammond and Steven Vidler and directed by Tony Tilse. Simon Hughes of the Age wrote "That is the quibble about A Difficult Woman. That in seeking to cover all bases, it overeggs the pudding. For all that, it is impressive." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
