S. 5, 3. Chinese Walls. Ed Whitmore.
Murder of young woman in Hyde Park. Links to her half-sister Georgia Mackenzie, and her online sex business, colleague Jonas Armstrong, arrogant lawyer Samuel West and his clerk Lindsey Coulson, and parents Diana Hardcastle and David Yelland. With child abuse sub-text it's strong stuff.
S. 5, 4. In the Blink of an Eye. Ed Whitmore and Suzie Smith.
More strong stuff, as a former war photographer is murdered in Soho; links back to Bosnia war. Shockingly ends with death of leading character.
Ania Sowinski, Indira Varma, Danny Webb, Gary MacKay, Serge Soric.
So after the shock ending we had to start
S.6, 1. Limbo. Ed Whitmore.
Understandably Lynley is dealing with grief through booze. What he needs is a very personal case going back 13 years, and the disappearance of the young child of friends. When the body is discovered he travels to Rome to pick up the boy's elder sister; he somewhat improperly has sex with her and she's found murdered. As the prime suspect he's arrested by antagonistic DI Geraldine Somerville.
Georgina Rylance, Nicholas Farrell, Samantha Bond, John Shrapnel, Nick Hyde, Ed Stoppard, Denise Gough.
Good casts they get. And the films get better as the series proceeds.
