It’s been just shy of two months since Declan Miller’s wife - and fellow detective - Alex vanished from the Majestic Ballroom mid-competition only to wind up dead on a Blackpool street hours later.
Dec, who was immediately put on
medical leave can’t hack sitting around doing nothing so he takes his awful
jokes and quirky attitude back to work. Teaming up with Xiu, his replacement,
their first case is murder at the ‘how on earth did they give it three stars’
Sands hotel.
Was this a northern gangland
killing, fratricide or maybe a jealous spouse with a hitman on speed dial. Dec
works the case with Xiu, his dancer friends, a young homeless informant and
Alex who despite being dead keeps showing up in his kitchen to chat.
Billingham has blended a northern police procedural with Strictly Come Dancing added some genuinely surprising plot twists and come up with a winner.
