Above Suspicion (2009–2012)
7/10
Entertaining murder mystery
26 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
When film star Amanda Delany is found murdered it isn't long before DI Anna Travis, DCS James Langton and the team are on the case. As is usual there are plenty of suspects and more than one possible motive; Amanda was no stranger to the tabloids because of her varied love life, it soon becomes apparent that she used drugs and she is keeping a diary with the intent of publishing it. As the investigation continues more people start to die; suggesting it might have something to do with her past rather than more recent events. Away from the investigation there is tension in the team as Langton is convinced that one of his team leaked information about a botched operation which cost him his promotion.

This was another enjoyable story in Linda La Plante's latest Franchise; it might not match 'Prime Suspect' but it is still pretty good. This is largely down to Ciarán Hinds portrayal of the gruff DCS Langton and his chemistry with Kelly Reilly's DI Travis. There are enough suspects and motives and a few twists to keep the viewer guessing till the end… always good in a mystery!
