These comments are based on watching both parts of 'A Taste for Death' not just the second.
As this story opens a lady and a young boy enter a church; when she looks for the vicar in the vestry she finds two bodies... a recently retired MP, Sir Paul Berowne, and a tramp. Dalgliesh is soon on the case, along with DS Masterson and DS Kate Miskin, who has recently transferred from Dorset. The investigation centres on Sir Paul's family and staff. They also look into the possibility of a connection to the drowning of a woman he may have been linked too.
This, the third and final instalment in this series, is another solid story which should please fans of the genre. The murders may have taken place in a church but early on it is clear that all the suspects are either family members of staff in a wealthy household; an obvious genre standard. This means that from early on the viewer can start trying to figure out which one will ultimately be exposed as the killer. In the first story Dalgliesh worked with DS Masterson, in the second he worked with DS Miskin; this time he works with both of them... their characters are a delightful contrast. He is a bit of a dinosaur with views that are out of date to put it mildly while Miskin represents a more diverse future without feeling tokenistic. The cast is pretty solid and the episode has a good '70s look... although I don't recall there being quite as much rubbish by the canals, perhaps because the ones I walked along then were in the Black Country not London! Overall a good story; on the strength of the three stories so far I hope we get more in future.
