Intrigue

An English tourist is murdered, reminding Detective Inspector Poole of a similar case in London.

Wheelchair-bound June Anderson is strangled in the villa she is renting with husband Doug and sister Janice. Though Janice is her beneficiary and has no alibi Poole suspects Doug, a former colleague whom he knows to be corrupt and an alcoholic. Cleaning woman Estelle admits to stealing June's jewels but the net widens when Janice sees one of the two men who own the rental company from which they hired the villa running from the murder scene. An arrest is soon made but Poole suspects that June's murder may be linked to one in England some while earlier and solves the case by proving the connection.—don @ minifie-1

DI Poole and his team investigate the death of a tourist, wheelchair-bound June Anderson, who had rented a holiday villa with her husband Doug and her sister Janice. She was strangled and is found lying on the floor with the telephone in her hand. Turns out that Doug is one of Poole's former colleagues from the Met. He had a bad reputation and surprisingly they did not get along. Poole is convinced he killed his wife but his team thinks he's just letting emotion getting the better of him. CCTV footage confirms his alibi so Poole eventually gives in. The dead woman's sister inherited her substantial estate so she is an obvious suspect. The solution however is to be found in a death that occurred elsewhere.—garykmcd

When wheelchair-stuck English tourist June Anderson is found strangled, even cool Poole can't help instinctively suspecting her husband Doug, a bully who pestered 'Dick' while they were London cops and investigated a never solved similar case. He has an alibi and the heir is her clumsy sister Janice Palmer, who missed out of their father's fortune after driving during the accident that lamed June, but there is a catch. Dwayne's clingy ex-date Estelle Du Bois regularly stole from the rented villa, including the fish that poisoned her cat and gave her young English employers, ex-con mates Will Teague and Ronnie Stuart, food poisoning, apparently disabling them at the murder time. Only after digging in Doug's past, Poole connects crimes and sets a trap.—KGF Vissers
