Harry and Nikki had briefly met the participants in Domestic (Richard Davidson / Anthony Byrne) and find there's been a trio of murders in a family home. Neil Maskell is something of a suspect in a complicated and somehow distant tale of intrafamilial doodads. The suspect runs away again.
Then in Paradise Lost (Stephen Davis / Edward Bennett) a disturbed woman seems to be collecting bone parts at the behest of an imprisoned and violent murderer (James Cosmo, Karen Pirie, Nightsleeper. The Durrells). Frankly her son Tobi Bakare (in air conditioning red herring) seems a little odd too (Death in Paradise, Malpractice). And how does all this involve contentious pathologist Pookie Quesnel?
I think Davis is more interested in 'Lost Horizon' than any of us, which is fairly wearisome (perhaps he studied it at Uni or something). Q spots the significance of the old lady in church pretty much straight away.
Highlight: showdown between Nikki and murderer in otherwise bonkers tale.
