The Murder Room
2003, minutes, Rated M
Martin Shaw stars in a masterly exploration of an isolated and beleaguered community coping with the evil and disruption of murder, based on PD James's bestselling novel. The story is set in an Anglican theological college on a desolate stretch of the British coastline. When the body of one of the students is found on the shore smothered by a covering of sand, his wealthy father demands that Scotland Yard should re-examine the verdict of accidental death. Commander Dalgliesh agrees to pay a visit and finds himself embroiled in one of the most horrific and puzzling cases of his career.
The Dupayne museum with its gruesome murder room is the focus of Dalgliesh's murder investigation into the death of one of its co-directors. Discovering a family at war, the Commander is faced with a series of murders which mimic the crimes from the notorious exhibition.
