The Secret House of Death: Part 2
Prismark106 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The police suspect Carl Heller might have been involved with his brother's murder suicide.

Carl seems obsessed with his sister in law, Magdalene. He is a butcher who comes across as slightly unhinged.

Whatever tension there was in this drama evaporated at the end of the first episode. It showed Bob North and Magdalene having an affair. Magdalene's attack on Bob outside the coroner's court was just a show for the cameras.

The second episode sees Susan having her own questions. Bob is a photographer and lied about a photo he took in Brittany.

This was not a good adaptation of the novel. So Bob was suspicious of how much Susan knew. It did not explain how the murder/suicide was carried out.
