The "Evidence Exposed": The two-week course on 'Great Houses of Britain' brings together a varied group of enthusiasts. When one of their number turns up dead, Inspector Thomas Lynley makes a cameo appearance.

His mind, in fact, doesn't turn to murder until two weeks after consultation number four.
