When Professor Dermot Finnegan is killed by a car bomb after a controversial case is reopened, the handsome, aristocratic DI Lynley (Nathaniel Parker) and DS Havers (Sharon Small) are called in to investigate.
An obvious suspect is Noel Shakespeare, whose daughter has been in prison for murdering her husband, but has recently been denied a new trial thanks to Finnegan's testimony. There is also Peter Stephanopoulos who served ten years based on Finnegan's testimony but has now been released.
Finnegan has left a widow, an meddling ex-wife, and a string of mistresses, one of whom years earlier was Lynley's now-pregnant wife Helen. When tragedy strikes, the case becomes more personal for Lynley.
This is a pretty good mystery though the murderer is obvious and we have to see a lot of Helen (Lesley Vickerage), not my favorite character.
I always get a kick out of Lynley's temper and how, despite this, Havers does what she wants anyway. I'd be terrified of crossing him, but she's a feisty one.
This is the last episode of season 3, and we're left with a big cliffhanger. Enjoy.
