The Ice House 1997

     Phoebe Maybury, Diana Goode and Anne Cattrell live together in Penny’s large manor home.  The estate is hidden away, it's peaceful and secluded.  They have a gardener and a cook/maid.  Phoebe’s husband disappeared about 10 years ago and there was a big investigation but the case was never solved.  The gardener has found a decomposed body in the ice house.  The ice house is over 50 years old and it hasn’t been used recently.  The police aren’t sure if the body is Phoebe’s husband?  The people in the local community were not very happy that nothing was solved about the husband’s disappearance.  Now they are up in arms again over the body on the property. 

      Daniel Craig is Detective Sergeant McLoughlin and he’s young at 30 years old.  There are a lot of plot leads going at once that keep you from knowing what really happened.  There is also a lot of probing of the dark sides of human nature.  The police department doesn’t seem to mind casting a wide net of blame.  The community doesn’t care who did the crime, they just want someone convicted this time around!!  Detective Chief Inspector Walsh feel the same way.  3 ½* (I liked this series)
