S13 E2
The Hole in My Heart
The band's ambition, an old apprenticeship death and a bracelet marked JB give Kembleford a distinctly 1950s music case.
S13 E3
The Palace by the Sea
Separate bedrooms, plans to convert the hotel and an old group photograph turn the coastal excursion into a family-business mystery.
S13 E4
The Crackpot and the Dummy
The apparent breakdown of Uncle Mirth and the theatre family's secrets make performance itself part of the misdirection.
S13 E5
The Shadow of Lazarus
Biblical riddles become traps as Vincent Lazarus engineers an escape and turns a relic hunt into open danger.

The Obedient Wife
Police promotions, a hidden Thursday appointment and an experimental radio system bring the officers' wives into the investigative centre.
S13 E7
The Bodhi Tree
Lady Felicia's return and a burnt letter held by a paperclip help Brown separate spiritual performance from motive.
S13 E8
The Oath of Silence
Threats to the jury, a missing smuggler and disputed inheritance test the boundary between legal duty and private investigation.

Mrs Sullivan steps before the camera as green earrings and tensions between the star, copywriter and manufacturer point toward the truth.
