The Jan Christopher Mysteries · Episode Five
A Memory of Murder
There's a missing girl, annoying decorators, circus performers, and a wanna-be rock star to deal with. But who remembers the brutal cold case murder of a policeman?
Easter 1973. The North London library where Jan Christopher works is in upheaval because the decorators are in to spruce the place up, but there is more for her policeman uncle, DCI Toby Christopher and her fiancé, DS Laurie Walker, to worry about than a few inconvenient pots of paint. An eleven-year-old girl has not returned home after school, and strange 'gifts' are being surreptitiously left for the detective chief inspector's family to find. Could these items have anything to do with the unsolved murder, fifteen years ago, of Jan's policeman father?
