    Storyline

    Edit
    Lynley is at a birthday party for the young son of some friends when the boy disappears. Twelve years later the boy's corpse is found and Lynley travels to Rome to accompany the dead boy's sister back to England for the funeral. However, the past seems to haunt her, and a break-in at her apartment leads Lynley to suspect that the 12-year old crime is still reverberating through the victim's family. At the same time, Lynley is also dealing with the death of Helen -- and not too well, tending to drown his sorrows rather than deal with the loss. —Ron Kerrigan <mvg@whidbey.com>

      Sergeant Barbara Havers: [visiting Lynley after his arrest] Are you okay?

      Inspector Thomas Lynley: You mean, "Did I do it"?

      Sergeant Barbara Havers: No! I mean, are you *bloody* okay? God, I've been asking you that for the last six months!

    Sadly, fornication at last
    I've seen many episodes where Lynley was a proper gentleman, but in this episode (7.1) he fornicates with a woman he has long known.

    Sadly, that's another series which having enjoyed for some time, has now gone down the pits. I don't know why good stories get so spoilt.
