Review

Jack Seale

This sedate but classy sleuther stars Adrian Scarborough as DI Max Arnold, who is newly separated and living on a houseboat. His partnership with new mum DS Priya Shamsie (Sonita Henry) has a lovely mix of wry mockery and mutual respect. As they investigate serious wrongdoing in some of the poshest parts of London, nothing new or dynamic is done with the English whodunnit — but with characters as low-key likeable as these, the slow pace becomes a pleasure.
