As Diana Rigg, the host of Mystery!, the venerable PBS
series which premiered these films, observes, Inspector Lynley gives his
partner, Barbara Havers, class, while she gives him nothing but grief. That's
not quite the case, although they
can be heard bantering like David and Maddie from Moonlighting. And what
is that tentatively wistful look on Havers' face while Lynley regards his
relationship with an unrequited love? The Inspector Lynley Mysteries
reunites author Elizabeth George's mismatched partners first introduced onscreen
in A Great Deliverance. Nathaniel Parker (Eddie Murphy's ghostly host in The Haunted Mansion) stars as Lynley, Oxford-educated detective and
eighth earl of Asherton. Sharon Small costars as Havers, a working class cop. |
