Summary
Set in the mist of Victorian London and featuring the real-life detective who inspired the first generation of crime writers, including Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and Arthur Conan Doyle. The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher are gripping murder mysteries full of twists and turns and unexpected journeys starring Paddy Considine as Jack Whicher, the most celebrated detective of his day. Hired by West Country landowner Sir Henry Coverley, Whicher takes on a seemingly straightforward case of infidelity, following his client's young wife as she meets her lover in London. However, when a key witness mysteriously fails to attend the divorce hearing, the investigation takes a dark twist.
