DCI Alma Blair Dead Pan
Episode 3 of 5

Can DCI Alma Blair avoid the red herrings and discover who - or what - killed a restaurant critic? Stars Julie Hesmondhalgh.

Suspects line up in Val McDermid's culinary conundrum of a murder case set in a fine dining restaurant. Something smells fishy, but is that just a red herring or two?

DCI Alma Blair (Julie Hesmondhalgh) and DS Trotter (John Hollingworth) have a body in the bathroom and a strange fruit from the suicide tree in the rubbish - but what killed poor restaurant critic Virginia Grimshaw? CSM Jo Black (Jane Hazlegrove) and her assistant Mo (Nitin Kundra) are determined to find out.
