AIRED: 7/20/06

Havers starts off without a partner due to Lynley's arrest and suspension for threatening a suspect. She begins a case in Kent along side a serious and pregnant Detective Inspector Fiona Knight. They investigate the murder of Edie Covington, whose body has been discovered in a lake nearby. Meanwhile, Lynley attends a disciplinary hearing to determine whether he can return back to work and he begins to help Havers and Knight. But a kidnap occurs and another body is found and so Lynley's unofficial involvement in the case might jeopardise his efforts to be reinstated.moreless

An awesome show!

9.2

Don’t let anyone fool you. This series is excellent for so many reasons. Critics of Elizabeth George are mostly irritated that an American is writing stories that center around British life and not sticking to stories that are oriented with American life. The gall! How dare she! Well, she should--she’s damn good at it. The main characters of the series are compelling. It’s difficult in this day and age to watch a show and actually care about the lives of the characters. I’m so tired of seeing hard-ass characters that are all tough, ruthless, vacuous and raw. Lynley and Havers are the first characters I’ve seen (other than CSI) that capture their balancing act of normal human vulnerability, private-life issues and personal foibles while constantly dealing with the most horrific crime scenarios and sometimes obtuse bosses and/or co-workers. I can only hope that more episodes will be produced.moreless
