Then Elizabeth gets a mysterious letter from a recent arrival to Cooper’s Chase, inviting her to a meeting. Both are currently carrying out surveillance on Connie Johnson, a recent entrant to Fairhaven’s drug dealing scene who is not adverse to brutal violence and nasty threats if her business interests are interfered with. Donna is trying to avoid her boss telling her anything about the relationship – especially anything sexual – partly because her own dating life is a wasteland of woe. Ron is looking forward to a visit from his 8-year-old grandson, Kendrick, while Ibrahim is trying to get out of his comfort zone and be more spontaneous in his daily life.ĭCI Chris Chris Hudson is currently dating PC Donna De Freitas’s mother, Patrice, and has taken to eating more healthily and taking more exercise. Elizabeth is still hiding her husband Stephen’s worsening dementia but is helped by local builder Bogdan Janowski, who plays chess with Stephen and is willing to help out at the drop of a hat. Joyce has taken to knitting friendship bracelets, which she hands out in exchange for a donation to charity and has her eye on getting a rescue dog (something that Ibrahim thinks is an unwise thing to do). Joyce Meadowcraft, Elizabeth, Ron Ritchie and Ibrahim Arif are still living in Cooper’s Chase and holding their regular Thursday Murder Club meetings, trying to solve cold cases. It’s shortly after THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB.
