After Gerard Etienne is found dead in an upstairs room at the Peverell Press, Commander Dalgleish and DI Kate Miskin arrive to investigate. DI Daniel Aron joins them, his first day as a member of the team. Dalgleish's friend Gabriel Dauntsey notes that the room in which Etienne was found had apparently been cleaned. He also noted that the room was quite warm. Almost everyone at the firm may have had a reason to want him dead. The pathologist determines that something was put in Etienne's mouth after he died and then withdrawn, perhaps a small cassette tape. When Dalgleish learns from the dead Sonya Clements sister that she was banned from working in the archive room where her sister took her life, he begins to wonder if there's something in the archive they are not supposed to see. —garykmcd

8/10

An excellent second episode.

Dalgliesh continues to investigate Peverell House, Gerard Etienne's death was clearly murder.

It is just such a well crafted mystery, the characters are so well drawn, so interesting, there is such a depth and complexity. You're wondering if it's personal, or a grudge, if it's something as simple as a revenge killing, or something deeper?

DI Daniel Aron joins, and he's a good addition to the team, it's always great to see Tim Dutton.

I find the acting tremendous here, Sylvia Sims and Cathryn Harrison really stand out. Harrison really was such a glamorous lady, Claudia has literally stepped into her brother's shoes as the rude individual at Peverell House.

Thoroughly enjoyable, 8/10.
