The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: The Murder at Road Hill House

Mon, Apr 25, 201195 mins

The affluent household of Samuel Kent wakes to a horrifying discovery in the estate privy. Three-year-old Saville has been brutally murdered, yet the lack of forced entry indicates an inside execution. Local constables immediately scramble the crime scene, botching early physical clues and fixating on the nursemaid. Frustrated by the rural standstill, London dispatches Detective Inspector Jack Whicher to untangle the domestic web. Whicher instantly focuses on the psychological fracture lines within the estate, isolating the resentment of teenage daughter Constance Kent. Lacking a vital missing nightgown, Whicher faces a wall of aristocratic denial, a recanting witness, and institutional sabotage that derails his career long before a surprising confession reshapes the tragedy.
