Above Suspicion: Silent Scream


So last night I watched the conclusion of series four of Above Suspicion. This episode was entitled Silent Scream based on Lynda la Plante's novel of the same name. It was fantastic.

A famous actress (pictured above) is stabbed multiple times in her posh flat and the suspect list is mighty long.

There were her parents, who seem keen on keeping secrets. There were her old friends (pictured above), from before she was famous, who resent her and her money. Then there were the lovers. And oh so many of them.

Anna Travis (above) and the team, especially her boss Detective Chief Superintendent James Langton (below), have to sort through all the suspects and find the truth.
For those of you have seen series one to three of this show, you know the main draw are the two main characters. The chemistry between them are great. Also, the politicking in the police force are realistic and add tension. I recommend this show.


You can read the book here on Kindle and on paperback here. Have you seen this series? What do you think?

  7. I've never seen this series. From the other comments it doesn't look like it's available from Netflix. I'll have to find the book.

  13. I haven't seen it, but I'm a fan of television. Anyone that knows me probably could say with confidence "Mike watches too much t.v." I'm gonna see if I can locate this series and watch it.

  14. I have watched one or two episodes, and I think they were fine, but not as intriguing as her Jane Tennison series with the brilliant Helen Mirren.

  15. I don't think we've had this in the U.S. I'll look out for the book.

  28. It sounds pretty good! We are on the road so much these days that I'm going to sign up with Netflix. I'm so very far behind on movies.
    Thanks!

  29. Actually I was looking for anyone who thought like me that the two main characters were awkward to watch and passing I have to say that I have always adored Keilly Reilly

If you don't have anything nice to say, say it anyway.
