Inspektor Wexford ermittelt (Staffel 5)

Chiefinspector Wexford (George Baker) löst im fiktiven südenglischen Kingsmarkham Mordfälle. Er ist verheiratet und bekommt gelegentlich Besuch von seinen erwachsenen Töchtern. Leidenschaftlich zitiert er Shakespeare. Die britische Schriftstellerin Ruth Rendell erfand ihren Serienhelden 1964. Seitdem hat sie zwanzig weitere Romane geschrieben, die als Vorlage für die Serie dienten. Meistens wird ein Fall in drei Folgen abgehandelt. Die von Neil Zeiger und Graham Benson für ITV produzierte Serie dürfte Freunde klassischer Whodunit-Detektivgeschichten erfreuen.

He is supposed to be resting, but he is bored, and his nephew is dealing with a fascinating murder case. The body of a young woman, Loveday Morgan, was found in Kenbourne Vale Cemetery, strangled with a silk scarf, and the only things in her handbag were a photograph and two telephone numbers. It appears that she had no money and was living under a false name. Wexford, keen to get out and about, is drawn to the case. His unofficial investigation uncovers a story of adoption and parental love.
