Grantchester 7 Episode 2
Lester Carmichael, part of the husband-and-wife team who own the Carmichael’s cleaning goods brand, is found dead, with a rather unusual neck wound.
Will and Geordie’s investigation leads them to look into Lester’s private life, which, they discover, is much less spotless than the carefully curated image he and his wife Melanie like to present to the public; He was a regular visitor to a local suburban brothel.
Will and Geordie must consider whether Lester’s demise could have been motivated by his wife’s desire to protect the reputation of their business, or if the murder is connected to the brothel itself.
Meanwhile, Mrs C’s recent erratic behaviour causes Jack to question whether she could be having an affair, and Will is increasingly drawn to the passionate and alluring Maya.
Will she leave Elliot for him? Do they have a future together? Could Maya be ‘the one’?
