A British police procedural with some nice, unexpected touches. The Brits wrote some lovely noir. A detective, new to a quiet burg, investigates the discovery of the body of a girl. To say much more of the plot would not be helpful, but I can recommend this. Some strong violence, not for the squeamish.
