Let's play Crime Drama bingo!

We have a closed circle mystery in a country house with the Met Police drafted in to solve multiple murders featuring arterial spray on the ceiling along with adultery  and a splash of incest! Lynley has got it all! Lynley himself has the demeanor of Tory MP harrassing an intern, and his side kick, Havers, has the hairstyle of her name sake, Nigel Havers (who probably has played a Tory MP in his time), but that's not the half of it. We also have a young Idris Elba and a very young James McAvoy. Why not, eh? 

This is early 21st Century Lynley, with Lynley 2025 just around the corner. Buckle up!

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS!

Our next episode will be on "Hetty Wainthropp Investigates". Seasons 1 - 4 are available in the UK on ITVX, and on BritBox elsewhere in the world. Episode TBC...watch this space!
