Jess is thrown in at the deep end on her first day as she and Sunny are called to investigate after human remains are discovered inside a chimney breast at a Victorian house in London, and, before long, four suspects (see our panel, right) are in the frame for a historic crime.
Here, Sanjeev, 59, and Sinéad, 45, share their case notes…
