In this well-written, fast-moving British series, NATHANIEL PARKER and SHARON SMALL (as Inspector Lynley and Sgt. Havers) investigate the mysterious death of a young woman.As in all of these crime stories, their investigation is full of lots of red herrings (a la Agatha Christie), wherein there are a substantial number of suspects, a few of whom seem to be slightly unhinged.The plot ingredients include an abusive step-father, a mistreated woman protecting her innocent sister, a man whose sweetheart was killed just before their wedding and who is suspected of having a hand in this latest death, and a woman seeking revenge on any woman who wants to marry the man she admires.It's all done very effectively with clue after clue being examined skillfully by the probing Inspector Lynley, played with the right mixture of sensitivity and determination by Nathaniel Parker.Enjoyable episode is well worth watching with good insight into human character traits.
