Inside No. 9 series 3 episode 3 review
Inside No. 9 series 3 pays homage to Sleuth in a delightfully nasty, slippery story themed around cryptic crosswords...
Louisa Mellor, Den Of Geek, 1st March 2017Inside No. 9 Season 3 Episode 3 review
Some hardcore fans may well demand something more tricksy, more gimmicky - indeed, less traditional. But there are still many pleasures to be had here, if you follow the clues.

A young woman asks a favour of a cryptic crossword setter, beginning a chain of unexpected turns...
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 1st March 2017A brilliant episode of Inside No. 9. Not just because it was a creepy, twisting tale of revenge, based on the riddle of the Sphinx. But because it was also based on, and starred, yesterday's Guardian cryptic crossword (which, of course, you will have completed before watching). Steve Pemberton, who writes and stars alongside Reece Shearsmith, also set the crossword. Hence the answer to 12 across: mystery guest! Genius.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 1st March 2017Inside No 9 - The Riddle of the Sphinx preview
Is The Riddle of the Sphinx the best-ever Inside No. 9? It is certainly the cleverest.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith's script is, as always, simply extraordinary, working across several different levels at once.
