Dry Bones That Dream: Part 1
24 May 2021
The story opens with a grisly murder of an accountant after he returns home with his wife after an anniversary dinner.

His head is blown off and his family are in no mood with the quips made by DI Helen Morton.

DCI Banks finds out that Keith Rothwell was a boring unassuming man who was tight with money. His family also disliked him but somehow he was financially well off.

Maybe this was a contract killing and Rothwell was involved in some dodgy business dealings. He is linked to a politician and also a double life with another woman, a musician.

A sinister man seems to be taking an interest in Banks investigations.

The fact that the head was blown off points to an important clue. The double life of an accountant who spent time with another woman also indicates that Rothwell was unhappy with his home life.

The second series also continues with the clumsy attempts by Morton to get on with her new colleagues. It gets in the way of the story. The sinister man played by Francis Magee was too cliched.
