Lynley (2025 Steve Thompson)

A reboot of characters based on novels by Elizabeth George, previously dramatized in a series running 2001-2007 with Nathaniel Parker and Sharon Small. Steve Thompson wrote them all.

Leo Suter is the posh, Jenssen Interceptor driving DI and Sofia Barclay his somewhat strange-accented DS. And DCI Daniel Mays has something over the new DI.

A Place of Hiding. An art collector on a remote island, who styles himself Augustus Caesar, is found murdered. Funnily enough when I saw a terminally ill woman in bed, I thought 'She did it' as a joke - turns out it was her.


This Body of Death

A woman being stalked is found murdered. Is it her ex?

Lynley takes rap for Havers' disappearing to hospital and is suspended but she sticks by him, to Mays' disappointment.

Careless in Red. 

Drowned body in Norfolk Broads. Something's going on in 'close knit community' where GP doles out drugs without prescription and coppers don't report crimes. Turns out the murderer killed his own grandson. Ooops!

With No One as a Witness

Dead drug dealers found with curious crucifixion wounds on them. They are connected to a church. And a college professor.
