The first episode of the new ITV series uses police bodycam footage, audio from calls to emergency services, family interviews and TV news reports to tell the stories of two family tragedies. The first case focuses on the Needham family.

That doesn't happen in these books. They support one another, they treat each other with respect and the camaraderie is frankly, workplace goals. Each one of them has their strengths and Sheens recognizes that and assigns them tasks accordingly. One of the things I love most about this team is how well they work together. I feel like in a lot of stories involving people that work together, there's always some sort of drama or contempt amongst the characters. Ancestry searches can bring families together, or reveal long-buried secrets, as Irish single mother Aisling Cooley learns all too well in the riveting latest from Lodge . . . . Heartfelt family drama and thundering suspense elevate the ripped-from-the-headlines plot.

If you're a fan, I think you will like this one too, as it seems pretty par for the course. The complex case, however, was also one to behold. A deftly interwoven masterpiece that was both full of blind turns yet easy to follow, I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out where it was all going to go. There were so many moving pieces, in fact, that it, in and of itself, felt wholly realistic yet also filled with nerve-shredding dread. Even better, just when I thought it had all come to a head there were more revelations yet to be had. Some, in fact, that will even keep me impatiently waiting for book number six.

I recommend to anyone who likes a good detective/police procedural with lots of twists and surprises. In the end, they are ambushed by the cops. Donny is shot to death, and the other sons are arrested and sent to death row. Gary was able to flee the crime, but his body is found eleven days later. The series features three hour-long episodes.
