The premise
Above Suspicion is a British crime drama programme starring Kelly Reilly as Anna Travis, a rookie detective determined to prove herself in the male-dominated police department by solving a trail of gruesome murders left by an unknown serial killer. Each series is based on a novel by Lynda La Plante: Above Suspicion (2009), The Red Dahlia (2010), Deadly Intent (2011), and Silent Scream (2012).
Horror Vault's take
A sharp young detective navigates a brutal boys' club environment as she hunts a killer whose gruesome trail refuses to go cold. Based on Lynda La Plante's novels, this British procedural blends psychological tension with richly observed police politics. Kelly Reilly anchors the series with a compelling performance as someone who must outsmart both the criminal and the institution she serves. Each season delivers a fresh case while deepening the personal stakes for its determined protagonist.
