DCI Len Harper, is due to retire, his last case, the death of Melissa Young, who has laid dead for two years in the too flat in a curious house.
I would suggest it feels very Ruth Rendell, this could easily have been one of her books. It's quite a bleak story, with an incredibly dark conclusion.
Not a House in would want to live in, all the residents are liars and monsters. Literally each room contains a cheat, liar or bully.
David Threlfall is terrific throughout, very strong performances from Russell Tovey, Indira Varma and David Bamber.
It deals with love, loathing, domestic abuse, and many other human ills.
A true house of horrors, it's very, very good, 9/10.
score 9/10
