When a woman's body is discovered in her house a photograph on her desk leads the investigating officers to Danny. It turns out that she was a friend of his thanks to her cold case blog. The officer in charge of the case believes it was just a robbery gone wrong but Danny believes she was killed because of a case she was investigating. Danny contacts another amateur cold case investigator who knew his friend and learns that she was looking into a possible miscarriage of justice from a quarter of a century ago. Looking into the case it quickly looks as though there were flaws in the original investigation; digging out the truth will not be easy after all that time and it isn't helped by the fact that one of those involved with the earlier case is now a government minister. Away from the case Gerry is staying at Steve's due to a gas leak in his street and Sasha has some awkward moments with the lead investigator of the current murder who she went to Hendon with.
This was another enjoyable episode with a good mix of mystery and humour. The humour mostly comes from Gerry staying at Steve's and not for reasons one might expect; almost the opposite in fact. The mystery had a reasonable number of suspects; for both the old and new cases. There were plenty of interesting characters although I was a little unsure about the ex-copper turned cold case obsessive; he seemed too much like a typical TV obsessive and not a former member of CID. When the revelation came I was genuinely surprised but didn't feel like the ending was forced. The cast, both regulars and guests, put in solid performances and it was nice to see a case that takes them out of London for a change.
